It should be possible. In any case, the reverb spring assembly can be removed carefully and unplugged (should have RCA plugs). When mounting the casters, make sure the fasteners don't conflict/block the reverb mountings.

Could have broken a spring in the reverb tank, or a wire connecting it to the amp, or the reverb driver tube, or a few other things, but those are the most likely in this situation. Thats what I'd check first. Give it a little slap and if it vibrates like normal, your spring is probably ok, you can still open it up and double check though. Check your wires. Then pull your reverb driver tube and replace it. If that doesn't work, it is probably in the circuit somewhere, and you should not work on your amp unless you know what you are doing. They store large amounts of electicity in the caps and they can kill you.

Without more info can't be much help. IF you are using the foot switch, poor contact of the plug AND also of the switch contacts of the footswitch jack will lead to intermittent reverb. There are MANY components that can cause the problem, including some may be temp sensitive... you need to characterize what MIGHT be changing in the environment. Also does vibrating the unit cause any change? You could even have a loose connection or bad cables that goes to the reverb tank...
This may take electronic test equipment to find the cause. COuld be failing component, crack on the circuit board, bad connector, cable...

Fender Amplifiers are notorious for their reliability issues.However, I'm sure that amp will sound sweet once you get everything working again!
The problem is likely your "tank". The tank contains the springs which create reverb as the guitar's signal is sent through them. A broken spring could be causing your problem.
Luckily, any of the larger music stores should have them avalible.
Good Luck!

IF it is an electronic reverb, usually a card resembling a pc sound card, can have loose connections on its power plug and act just like that, or they make squealing or popping noises, I have replaced or resoldered these connections which cured most all of them. The components don't just burn out without reason. IF it is a reverb chamber, it probably has 2 RCA jacks with in and out that need wiggling to clean connection OR a bad spring inside but Always check connections all around before assuming something is bad or burned out.
