Narrative:
Left engine reverser was MEL'ed and pinned closed. However, on takeoff, the left amber rev light appeared above the left EPR gauge. Takeoff was rejected at about 30 KTS. No brakes or reverse was needed to exit the runway. Returned to the gate and the discrepancy was written in the aircraft logbook.
