fender reverb tank

i have been toying with the idea of these things.
has anyone had any experience with them?
i like the idea of a tube driven reverb, but not the 400+ price tag.
does anyone know something similer but a bit cheaper?
or is there a good way to jimi rig a spring reverb tank to have ins and outs with a volume?
i might be bighting off more than i can chew with this one.

all the old used ones i have seen are like 400 bucks or more, there is one around 260, but im sure it'll jump.

seems too expensive.
just get an ampz with the reverb?

naw, its fer my bassman.
im trying to find something with a good splashy wet extreme, to a subtle feel, there are some pedals that sound appealing, but then i remembered the fender reverb tank, i wasnt sure if there was a comparible model for half the cost.
who woulda thought how much i miss reverb.

heard they build some clones of this thing in USA. Never seen one, though. There is a Tube Reverb Unit by Vermona available: http://www.vermona.com/index.php?en_retube , but it's still quite expensive. And it looks like a computer.

I have one for my Bandmaster. The ones made by Premier (50s and 60s) are a little less expensive. Valco/Gretsch/Airline/Supro made one too.

Here's a Premier:

Looks pretty sweet, and not that much more expensive than these chinese danelectro things ... wish I was in the USA, I'd shop guitar gear all day

THis one should work perfect with a Vibro Champ.

that looks awsome and for 150 bucks, it could be really awsome too!

I've been looking to make a clone of the fender 6G15 reverb:

First, I need to man up about the voltages.
