Reverb not working

The reverb on my hd 130 reverb doesn't seem to be working. I've only just purchased it. I think it may be the footswitch as the vibrato works fine but won't turn off via the switch. Does it make sense that the footswitch is stuffed with the reverb turned off thereby making it impossible to turn it on

Try unplugging the footswitch from the amp-the reverb should work with no foot switch at all. If that does it, there's your problem. If it doesn't, the MM reverb tanks seem to be a little fragile so I would start looking there. Mike.

There are tiny wires which break inside the tank, probably from shock, when shipping. The wires are blue and/or green, very tiny, and couple with the small transducer. Most people say forget trying to fix this...they require a solder pot and a bit of skill. Save the vinyl pouch and just get a new tank, they're cheap and available.
