Last month I posted here about my rm2 coming loose on my 4yo Grand, and many of you recommended sending it in for repairs. A neighbor offered to let me use one of his spare devices, an Ipv2 with an Atlantis on top. So, I bit the bullet and sent my one and only grand in for repairs.
All started off well. It got from Texas to Maine in a couple of days Rob sent me an invoice that was even lower than the original quote, and i figured I would have my grand back in a couple more days and my frustration with the badly inferior device i say borrowing would be over in under a week. Nope. The lovely post office decided to add an extra 6 days to my wait. My wife got tired of listening to me complain about having to refill that dinky little tank 4 times a day and how i was burning through my juice twice as fast, so she authorized me to go ahead and order a second reo. It was ordered within 5 minutes. Of course, within the hour my tracking page for my original grand updated for the first time in 8 days, and my old grand was finally in Houston. No going back though. The new grand arrived in just 3 days, and it's a beauty. In the tradition of Reoville, here is a photo. The old one is on the right - a beaten and battered (but working fantastic thanks to Rob) silver with a blemished replacement door (the original door went down a toilet!) and on the left is a lovely copper vein.
Thanks Rob, and thanks Reonauts for all the great advice over the years.
