Most reverb failures I have seen are due to old reverb tanks. The pick-up coil transducers that couple the spring energy get abused through the years and can get old, becoming less effective.
If your amp took a shock big enough to throw the springs off their mounts, you probably lost a transduceras well. This means you would have to get a replacement reverb spring tank assembly ($25-$40). A long two-spring or shorter 3-spring unit would work. Just be sure to get the same type as used in Fender amplifiers.
