Single Spring Reverb tank

I am wondering if anyone here knows where I might find a single spring reverb tank(the kind that would come in an old Vox amp).I just need the tank itself,I am looking to build a Boingy sounding reverb unit ala King Tubby etc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA---Ghede

Start here:
http://www.accutronicsreverb.com/

Accutronics supplies most of the current manufacturers (as far as I know) with their reverb tanks.

Have you tried Ebay? Got any shops that do lots of amp repairs? Check with them. Years ago I needed a new tank for a Fender amp and my repair guy had a whole stash of reverb tanks that he had salvaged over the years.

Why not buy a used tank and mod it? Rip out a spring, maybe try a different cap on it so you're rolling off less top.

See if you can get ahold of Aspen Pittman. If not, call up Myles from Groove Tubes.
