Hey Dick, very nice ! I have a '67 Band Master and a Weber 5G15 Reverb unit(I built last spring). Just wondering how your stock set up is, as far as ground loop hum? My pieces have the 3-prong power cables. I designed a hybrid ground scenario for the reverb unit and so far it seems good. Now I'm wondering how it would be had I followed the stock configuration. ART

I failed to mention that I have converted both the Bandmaster and the Reverb to three pronged plugs. I have not had any issues with ground loop hum. I did keep the original cords and even left the "death cap" on the Bandmastrer in place, but disconnected so either unit can be fully restored to original if anyone really wants to get an occasional shock.

I don't recall having any hum problems with the amp/reverb combo when they were using two pronged plugs, but you definitely had to set the polarity switch on the amp and orient the plug of the reverb correctly to avoid clicks every time you touched the guitar.
