Reo P 67 prototype

[oldbroad]

Well I did it again...p67 No. 3!!!!

Did I mention that I LOVE these Reos?!!!

I'm fairly sure that some day Rob will come up with another topnotch style...but I honestly don't know how even he could top these wonders!

I have one solid white, one tumbled and coming soon is that gorgeous green.

...my poor poor other Reos..they aren't gonna get much love anymore

Real quick observation. Just noticed the other day that the delrin block that holds the striker plate and positive battery plate....is not delrin but wood. Is there any special maintenance that it needs?

Was thinking about this myself. Is it safe to give the 67 a good bath under hot water?

Even on my grand, I usually remove the delrin, not sure how that would apply to wood. It seems like he said the screw wouldn't strip as easily on this, but don't quote me on that. I forget things I do hear, and remember stuff I never heard! (I've decided to consider it a gift)

If your going to blow it out with compressed air you would be all set but if your going to soak the mod I would remove the insert

Mine is already wood brown color. Was wondering about that as at first I noticed some scuffs on it I thought from closing the door and then I used some rubbing alcohol after some leakage from the atty and I was like crap.. the black all came off!

Was thinking it was a resin?

So now whst to do? Paint it black agaim with black paint? Nail polish?

 

[PikesZA]

Its here, loving it.

A perfect atty for a perfect mod. I also got my P67, just waiting in anticipation for my Snapdragon atty.

Yep my favourite atty, love how it looks on the P67. The snapdragon is great too, I sold mine because I prefer the smaller profile of the O-16 but it was certainly an amazing flavour atty.

Black Sharpie marker?

Just did that for now. Black paint would be best or nail polish since the rubbing alcohol should remove it.. only nail polish remover.

So just need to know if the is wood or not? Are we supposed to oil it? Hope not.

 

[redeyedancer]

The insert is wood it has been stabilized with resin there is no need to treat it if I make more I wont try to die them black . As you can see you can remove it if you work at it

just ordered a white/SL white, but black is purty too....hmmmmm

 

[roedtogsvart]

So can we get any words on how the new mod performs? I love my grands & mini but I'm wondering how the p67 is with voltage drop, spring sag, maintenance.. etc. It's the same "indestructible" and adjustable 510 connector right? How does it handle low resistance builds (like under 0.15 for example)? Is it much heavier than the grand/grand SL/LP? What advantages does the new contact mechanism bring? How much arcing, and if so, where? It looks quite a bit different from the old contact setup.

Don't get me wrong, I love reading people's excitement when they get theirs and seeing all the great pictures. I'd just love to hear something about how it performs and why it's different than a grand. Sorry if some information was already posted, I read quite a lot of pages but this thread is a beast.

Usually I would wait until someone has reviewed the mod to make a purchase choice (looking at you, super x) but it seems like these are going to sell out fast and Rob is gonna take a break after they do (good for him!).

Do it, brother. Kind of a yin yang thing goin' on if you do.

Mr Strummer would have approved

P67 number 2 has just returned from @Genosmate in Knysna after been taken apart and shined to a mirror finish and given a new fire button!
