Hello, I have the Fender Sidekick Reverb 25. My issue is the reverb tank needs to be replaced. The original Fender part # is P/N 025269 . Does anyone know what replacement tank would work for this amp. Also, there are 2 other sets of numbers on the tank, but I believe this is the correct part number. Thanks Jerry.
Hey Jerry, have you confirmed the reverb tank itself is not working, rather than the electronics inside the amp? If you can borrow a reverb tank from someone and hook it up to your amp, you should be able to confirm the electronics inside the amp controlling the reverb are still working, even if the reverb tank you test with is not the correct one (it may not sound great, but you should hear reverb)Originally Posted by RollinAlonG
I have a solid state Fender amp from that era, and it has a 9 1/2 inch long Accutronics reverb tank. I don't see any part numbers on it, just the patent numbers.

A Google search for "Fender 025269" lead to this-

Based on the picture and the size, that's the one in my Princeton Chorus. It actually sounds pretty good. If the OP has access to a multimeter, he could see if there is resistance on the pins from the input to the output. If there is a dead short or no resistance, then the unit is probably dead and not worth repairing unless you have good soldering skills.

Yes, I was able to try out another reverb tank and the reverb worked with it, so the problem is with the tank itself. There are 3 sets of numbers on the tank #1 is 620001 #2 is SR-01542CE and #3 is P/N 025269 These are the original Fender numbers on top of the tank.
