Funny, I just found an old reverb tank in a box last week while attempting to 
clean out my garage. I was thinking of what to do with it. All of a sudden 
there's all this talk about spring reverbs... (I never get very far on 
cleaning out the garage).

I have a two spring unit by Gibbs Manufacturing & Research Corp. (Hammond), 
and I suspect it probably came from an old Fender amp. I want to experiment 
with it, but it has some very delicate wires coming off the transducers, so 
I'm afraid of burning it out if I'm not careful. One transducer has a black 
wire and a green wire coming off it, and the other transducer has a mustard 
colored wire and a black wire attached. I don't know which end is input or 
output, or if it matters. Any suggestions or schematics on a circuit to build 
around this thing?  

While searching for information, I found a company that sells the Accutronics 
reverb tanks online. I haven't dealt with them, but the website has some 
interesting stuff on it:
