In my K200B-2 head the volume goes down as you turn the reverb control up. This was addressed in a post long ago but I can't find it. I think it was Steven who had the answer and trouble shoot procedure.

No, I have never had that type of reverb problem turn up, but I would start by unplugging both cables from the reverb pan at their circuit board end and see if the volume drop off probelem still takes place, also before you unplug them make note of which cable came out of which RCS jack.
Post us back as to what happens and we can take it from there.

Thanks for the response. It happens with or without the pan hooked up. Full volume until the reverb control is clicked on and as it's turned up from there the amp's volume goes down.

AS it turns out I just picked up a 200b-4 that has this same problem with the verb, and turning on the tremolo will drop the volume, and when on the tremolo has very little intensity.
What I around to fixing this amp in about a month, if yours is still screwed up mybe I can inform you as to what the fix is.
