I've got an 80's Peavey that has a slight buzz when I kick in with the reverb past two o'clock. Is this a sign that it might need to be replaced? Is it even possible? Should I just not use the 'verb and just buy a pedal? Help me oh Knowledgable Ones.

I also get that when I turn my amps reverb. This isn't really a problem when I can use my multi-fx:s reverb, but I also wonder why it makes this sound.
This sound was in the amp from the beginning so I don't think it helps to replace anything in the amp itself, but I might be wrong.

I think that "Reverb buzz" is comming from the reverb units amplifier circuitry. They pickup noise and hum from everywhere in the amp. As Niklas says, this is a built-in "feature.." of most guitar amps.

Perhaps it's actually adding reverb to the hum from your guitar, as well, making it more noticable? I'm using a Peavey Audition 100 (it sucks) and I don't have this problem...I grounded and shielded my guitar a while back; maybe that has something to do with it.

I'm shielded too. First thing I did on my rig when I bought it. 8)
