Deb,
You mentioned something about Doxit or something like that, ah watcha talking about....(I just woke up)...
Deb,
Deoxit is a contact cleaner right?
I'm not sure what happened but it was like I was getting poopy flavored hits, then BAM, the contact stuck, and spring collapsed and the contact melted into the bottom of the button...
I already ordered the parts, but I dunno why it happened?
I'm about to check the atty....not that I can use it (the Reo) until I get my replacement parts.
What are you using the Deoxit for?

OH, I LOVE THE WALKING DEAD. It is one of my favorite shows!!!
Kelly...it's the tv series Walking Dead.
...just practicin'......
In the grand scheme of things it's a minor problem but my router tip is loose on my odin, to the point that it comes away from the atty at times. What's a good way to tighten up the fit until I can find an oring that will better hold it in place?
If you want to tighten up a drip tip, take the o-ring off and wrap a few rounds of dental floss in the groove then put the o-ring back on.
If it's too tight, unwrap some of the floss until you get it where you want it.

If you've got the option, waxed floss works better - it sticks in shape.
Some folks have used a section of finger cut from a rubber glove, too.

Not much happening around me. grrrr Real quiet. I cleaned out all my stored threads. I sure do miss putting those in folders. Caught up on some threads that I haven't had a chance to. Still trying to learn stuff. Takes me a little longer than most. Oh well, it is what it is.
Hope you are doing well.
Well, hello fellow Reonauts! I decided to dig out some Reos....Woodvil and Reo little. They've been sitting oh, about three years. I thought they were not performing and yet for such a simple mod, what could it be? Finally figured it out.....batteries!!!! Ah!!! I guess they are just too old and won't hold a charge.
Welcome back! Jup those batts are important huh!Well, hello fellow Reonauts! I decided to dig out some Reos....Woodvil and Reo little. They've been sitting oh, about three years.

duhhh purple of course!!!
Sorry I didn't get back on Larry, just deoxit gold is what you use on both ends of battery, and spring top and + contact to prevent arcing. There is another deoxit that is a cleaner, but most folks don't use it. Just use a white eraser vinyl I think, if you have any dark spots, clean it with rubbing alcohol, then apply some deoxit gold. I just put a drop on my finger and put some in all places. Some use a qtip but mine was soaking into the qtip too much. I got this small tube at amazon. Will last a long time, they also have a pen and a bottle with a brush.
jup dental floss is great, I've also seen some that used some plumber's teflon tape.
