I have a SIlverFace Tube Reverb unit that I got new in the '70's. It was a return to their original reverb unit after they tried some solid state versions in the late '60's. My question is how close is the circuitry to that found in the original reverb units (like the ones now being reproduced). I know they say that CBS messed around with the SilverFace stuff. but this unit sure sounds sweet. I've heard that the SilverFace Reverbs are the best of all of them, but that sounds like an urban myth to me...

IIRC there was a minor alteration to the power supply and a tube switch from the previous 6K6 used in the brownface and blackface editions to the more common 6V6GT as the former tube passed into obsolescence. The silverface "re-issue" still sounded for the most part like every other 6G16 though.
