So I was cleaning out some stuff in my storage room and found an acutronics reverb pulled out of a fender I no longer have. It's got the RCA in/outs. I am wondering if it's possible to use in the Cure's FX loop?? Anyone know what all I would have to do? I'm assuming I'd need some kind of pre-amp to get the signal up to the right levels and a some kind of pot to control the amount of verb'd signal coming back to the return in? Is this a dumb idea? Any one know what might be needed to pull this off?

It's not a plug and play thing. The reverb tank has to be driven at the proper level, then you need another preamp after it for reverb recovery. It's a complete system that the tank is only a small part of. Unless you have electrical engineering skills it's not something you want to tackle. For reference, look up a schematic for a Fender stand alone reverb unit. That'll give you an idea of what's needed.

What Dave said. If you want a "true spring" reverb that you can plug in, there are a few options. The Z Verb can go in front, but I'm not sure it's designed to work in a loop. There are several "pedal" true spring reverbs in the TPS video here.

Yea, I've watched that TPS episode! I know a straight plug/play wont work - I was curious whether a "work around" using the acutronics tank would be cheaper than buying a decent spring verb pedal and buffer to run in the loop. Might be easiest to track down a spring verb peal....

If you keep your eyes open you might be able to find a Z-Verb for not much more than a good spring reverb pedal.
