Yeah I've got my old (newly updated 510&contacts) TRA that I'll take out right me that can take a beating.. still need to order the same in the p67.
Wife would prob shoot me though.. after the new tv and now gona grab a new Denon x4200 reciever for atmos sound and install 4 ceiling speakers.. yeah. She's not happy with me lately! Plus it's always that time of the month when I bring up a large purchase! Everytime! Good thing I don't have a gun in the house.
That's why I don't use the Woodvil or the DLaws Rapter 120watt Squonker. I'm a bit of a clutz.. Woodvils are too nice for me. That Boykin Rapter usually stays in its box because it was a gift and custom made for the Dogstar.
@mommabird62 is now the caretaker of Josey the Woodvil..Momma, care to post on this..lol
She knows I'm a clutz.

I can drop-kick, floor board dribble and/ or shirt pocket launch just about anything. And I usually do. I have two Grands that go to work (trucking) with me. They have had a rough life do far, but no problems out of either of them. Ever.
Which is why I love Reos Mods. They survive me.

I'm retired, so my Reos are usually in pretty safe environs, like my den, which is carpeted, in the yard, the golf course, or my truck. If I was still working, which was in construction, I'm sure they would have suffered much abuse. But they are pretty indestructible.

I can vouch for that [emoji4] My brother has her right now. Finally got him off the stinkies and gave him a bunch of gear. Was hoping he would take to squonking but I think he prefers tanks. Gave him an old MVP, Nautilus combo, an SXmini with a Subtank and he's hooked on those. So Josey is probably going to come back home [emoji6]

Overnight run. Sitting in a hard packed gravel lot that serves as a truck parking area next to a Hardee's in Duffieid VA. Surrounded by the low mountains of southwest Virginia. Light rain gently falling on the roof of the truck. Belly full of hot ham and cheese, side of fries. Traffic along the main drag in waning. Setting sun barely able to penetrate the cloud cover. Another night away from home. One of many, but this is how a trucker pays the mortgage. And on this job I only spend one night a week out, so stretching my legs once a week isn't too terribly bad.
And by sunrise I'll be back in the Carolinas, going by Rick's place in the morning. Unless he's moved again.....

My favorite REO is my TRA, ( now sanded) Grand with a used fully darkened copper vein door. It was an oldie with the squarish corners on the back, so I took some sand paper and re-radiused the edges to be more like the newer Grands. Then sent it off to Rob for a haircut and an adjustable 510...I wouldn't trade it for the world, I just love that thing more than any other mod I have.
Got a second Stumpy in the mail today. I had shelved the one I have had, for a while, in favor of some other attys I use. But I resurrected it when I got my first P67. I didn't like it, or any other side air attys on my Woodvils. But I love the Stumpy on the P67, so I got a second one. Anybody on the fence about the Stumpy, it really is a great atty.
Thanks Rule. I really want a Thump (and I know you like them) due to the top air flow. How's the Stumpy compare?
I'm getting so I like the Stumpy nearly as well. I have a pretty simple build on both of the Stumpys. 24g kanthal, 2.5mm diameter, 6 wrap, single centered coil. They ohm out at about .5 ohms.
On the Thumps, I run dual 26g, 2mm coils, 6 1/2 wraps. About .4 ohms.
