Soo i just thought about how cool a magnet switch would be in a mechanical reo, so i played around in paint and came up with a small idea

Basically this shows a another pin like the one used to deactivate the button being placed in the middle of the button coming in contact with a small metal core, on the bottom of the button a magnet is placed as well as on the battery, the magnets would then oppose each other enough to keep the button elevated, when pressed the magnets would come in contact passing the current to the pin that then hits a piece of metal like the one used currently to fire the battery,

I think this would be cool because the magnets could be easily replaced to keep up with conductivity and the long peice of metal that would come in contact with the pin could be more sturdy since it would not need to depress as it does now which might make it last longer

Not saying the reo has any faults at all, still loving mine and it is working flawlessly just having some fun thinking up new ideas!
