      According to the Belton web site, www.belton.co.kr, it is a large size, 2 spring unit with 8 ohm input impedance and 2250 ohm output impedance. Belton uses the same basic numbering as Accutronics.

      Antique Audio has a BL2AB3C1B listed, which is the same as yours but with a long delay instead of the short delay. If you want a short delay, I've found it easy to get non-standard Accutronic units by using their eBay store. The Accutronics equivalent is 4AB1C1B.

          Hello !

          could you tell me where you found your Spring Reverb Tank ab1c1b please ?

          My BL2AB1C1B (Belton) from my Epiphone Blues Custom 30 doesn't work anymore...
          Just a question: how could I check the Reverb Tank or the signal, to know where the failure comes from ?

          8 Ohm - 2250 Ohm

          Thank you !
          Have fun.

            Hi,

            Apparently, Accutronics was sold to Belton last year. Their distributor list is at ::::::::: Accu Bell Sound Inc ::::::::: under the Ordering tab. I would contact either Antique Electronic Supply or Mojo Musical Supply, I've dealt with both in the past.

            The way to test the reverb tank is to use an ohm-meter to chech continuity of the coils. If you don't read any resistance from the center of the jack to the outside of the jack on either the input or output, then it is open. If it is open, take it out and turn it over. Belton reverbs use a connector where the wires are pushed in a slot. Be sure that one of the wires hasn't become detached.
