Looks similar to, although perhaps somewhat smaller than, the reverb
tank in my old Sunn mixing console and quite a bit larger than the one
in my Pioneer "reverberation amplifier" (a thrift-shop find).  Can't
do without that good ol' spring reverb sound at times!  The temptation
is great to build a much larger one.  Any thoughts on differences between
the use of loudspeakers or dc motors connected to various types of
springs and slinkies?
