For the old fender surf Reverb Tank

1.) How do i get more dwell i want to over dwell the circuit how do i do this?
what modifications do i need to do for this?

2.) I need to make more current to drive the transducer or reverb pan more?

3.) More current to the reverb drive coil? how do i do this?

4.) Do i need a Bigger driver Coil?

5.) How to drive the springs harder?

6.) The Dwell increases the duration of the Decay time?

I never had the unit, and can`t help more then to refer you to the book "A desktop reference of hip vintage guitar amp" by Gerald Weber, there`s one little chapter in it "Juice up that 6G15 Fender reverb", pages 150-156. Maybe you can find it somewhere? In short, author suggests to try some "tricks", for example, changing the 12AT7 tube to 12AX7, reccomends RCA 6K6GT tube, mechanical inspection/fixing of the spring tank, and some mods...

Should i try hooking up 2 driver circuits to
drive the reverb pan harder more dwell more voltage and current from 2 driver circuits?

That`s just me, but I`d never ever mod a vintage gear to perform something that "stock" unit can`t. Fixing and changing of some bad components is a another story.
