11/20/2014 Mechanical Woodvil Prototype

Robert said:

So here is the prototype
It has the old 510 connection the new mod will have a stainless adjustable 510 connection .
Still no magnets I ordered larger magnets for this mod .
All the contacts will be gold plated as you can see there not at this point .
The on off switch is built into the push button much like a grands . I made the through hole much larger hang ups should not be a problem .
Turn the push button to 9 o clock the mod wont fire .
I sleeved the push button with nylon I was worried if I didn't humidity could cause problems for some people in humid climates .

12/15/2014 Resin REO Prototype

Posted by Robert, (click on quote to go to link):

I haven't figured out how to make a mod totally hoople proof . For instants How do you stop a guy that wants to run a . 2 ohm coil but doesn't do any maintenance hasn't used any noalox or deoxit on his contacts . His mod starts arching like a welding rod and he keeps running it until hes burnt the gold off his contacts . Yeah I no superstar but these things happen some folks have to learn the hard way . They ask noalox whats that I say you no that vile that came with your mod black gooey stuff yep that is the stuff . Or he took pliers to his positive contact because he thought he could make it better I love that one . I could go on for hours on things hooples do to mods .

What is cool about the resin mods is water proof extreamly durable . If you did drop it you could easily sand and buff out any scratches . The finish is the same color all the way though the material . No more warping even if you slop juice all over the mod . It feels like a highly polished cocobolo mod . So for a person that likes a woodvil setup but doesn't want to baby the mod its a perfect material for them . I have just started experimenting I think these are going to be very cool .

Here is a rough black with gold flake experiment

12/20/2014 Mechanical REO production first pics

From Robert E. O'Neil:

First set of pics insides are milled front and back sides profiled . These still need the 510 holes milled and the button holes milled and tops and bottom profiled . A couple of the stabilized mods were done by us I recently picked up all the equipment to stabilize my own wood should be interesting .
Chances are a few resin mods will make it into this run of mods as well no promises . The second set of pics will be after the final sanding
