[sdiy] repair spring reverb tank

[Electronic Battle]

Hello All

http://www.nitrogen.myzen.co.uk/EMS/reverb%20fix/ shows the repair of a 
two-spring reverb unit ina Synthi AKS - it might help you fix yours perhaps. 
It was fiddly and took a couple of hours or so, but it was amanageable and 
it did work. And it's still working!
