All you Johnny come latleys turned your noses up at Nonreverse Thunderbirds for decades, my how things have changed. 
This is absolute truth. I bought my first reverse in 1982 for $500 after waiting for months for one to pop up in the local free classifieds. At the time, you could pick up a reverse for $250 and have your choice of two or three that were listed for weeks at a time with no takers. It took me quite a few years to warm up to them.
