If you are looking for a NEW tube/spring reverb just get one of the Fender Reverb reissues. Still in production quite common and they sound fantastic. Only thing necessary would be to interface it to impedance and balance match it to mix equipment. No problem if you are used to re amping. If you are industrious you can also build the Fender Reverb from scratch or kit. There are many tube amp parts suppliers that have the chassis and transformers. You could skip the amp style chassis if you want and build it into a 2 space rack (3 or 4 with tank). You could also buy some Jensen transformers and make it balanced line level as well. Easiest option would be to find a Fender reissue on Ebay or somewhere then get some Radial re amp boxes and you're set.

The Roland SDE3000 is not a legendary dub weapon like the biphase or space echo but as mentioned Mad Professor has made liberal use of them. I also helped Dub Syndicate locate a couple for a tour in th early mid 90's. That was one item they wanted no substitutes for.
