I first tried squonking some years ago and liked it but then I got into re-buildables so I passed my wood box to my wife, since when it has fallen to pieces several times and is currently in need of yet another re-soldering job 
My interest revived a few months ago when I realised that there were some decent re-buildable BF atties available so I got a rather snazzy regulated box and a couple of atties and found I was really enjoying it, but then.........well let's just say I fell out permanently with DNA30's
I wanted to carry on squonking but with something that I could regulate and was bomb proof and then I remembered the Reo and found this sub-forum
I must thank the many contributors on here because a couple of weeks searching through these threads gave me all the information I needed; firstly that I could use a kick. I find these work fine for me in my mech mods and concluded that a tumbled finish would make life easier with a Reo (I have had to take off anodising before so I wanted to avoid that if possible). Fortunately I liked the look of that finish anyway, so that was the first choice made, after that it was easy to decide on a LP grand, so that is what I ordered. It arrived yesterday and I can already understand why people get addicted to these! Here it is and I couldn't be happier with it:
This is a really well made piece of kit and obviously built to last. Finally I must thank Rob for his excellent service and getting this across the Atlantic to me so quickly.
