And perhaps a surprise, or two along the way..... :ohmy:

I like surprises! ;)

Awful lot of REO firing pins there... Where are the negative contacts to go with those, or am I the only sucker on that one???? Can't imagine using one without the other...

Actually you can use just the positive pins. Won't be perfect but I think it will still be a marked improvement. At least I guess so

Don't know that I like the idea of boring an extra hole in the bottom of my Reo's but I do know that removing the powder coating under the negative spring and reinstalling it with a coat of silver conductive grease certainly helped. Now that I'm looking at Corey's custom contacts, ( CCC's by CC...:p ) thinking I may just try coating and polishing a spring or two with a bit of this...

Isn't the spring itself the problem? Any hot spring takes a load from your power. I think removing the spring, using that silver thing with a contact leaf would be better

Yep! I remember ol' Rob saying that that made a huge improvement.

Soldering the spring to the spring plate, that is...

Silver solder is a great idea, DB

You may be right Aal, but as mentioned, I just don't like the idea of boring that extra hole to do so.
