Help in hooking up a reverb tank

Already posted this in the CBG wiring & electronics group and thought it might be good to post here too...

I'm a novice when it comes to amps and electrics so I'm hoping someone here will have an idea on how to do this. I scored a reverb tank, (I believe it came out of a fender amp) from the wife of a late friend who repaired and rebuilt amplifiers and was wondering how to hook it up, or even if I can hook it up, to my home built, C. B. Gitty 9 volt amp.

Thanks to all of you electronically skilled folks out there.
