Single Ended Xformer

I know this may be a stupid question , but it won't be my first on here lol
Can a output transformer from a single ended amp be used for a reverb transformer?
Any tube unit can be brought back to life.
I never meet a tube I didn't like.

yes
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

The reverb tranny IS a single ended OT.

It matches the 6K6 impedance (7.6k Z) to the tanks input impedance (8 Z).(vintage Fender example)

The same as it would in a SE amp like a Champ.

What tube are you driving the tank with, and what plate voltage, and what input impedance does your tank have?
