Nice! I've been refeshing the page all day, had to run a few errands, and just saw the updated status now. Glad I jumped on it in time!

Now, what is the trick to keep them looking good? I've heard you have to do something to the copper vein to keep it that color.

IIRC you're supposed to treat them with a polyurethane spray to keep them covered up and prevent them getting darker. Over time the Copper Vein is supposed to turn almost black. I've had mine a few months and they still look good but why take chances? Poly spray incoming

Hope this helps

Yeeehaaaaw, just ordered me a Black Wrinkle Copper Vein Reo Grand!

Reo #2 on the way, come to Papa :)

Site said: All the mods on the site have upgraded copper beryllium gold plated contacts .
The push buttons are upgraded to a high heat plastic

But makes no mention of upgraded springs. So, should one wait to order or is he holding off on sending out current purchases until the new spring is installed? Just trying to hold out until the FULL kit is installed. Hoping that I am not misunderstanding something here.

The operative word is "contacts". Plural meaning both contacts which includedes the springs.

From the updates thread posted yesterday by Rob.

All the mods on the site have upgraded copper beryllium gold plated contacts .

The push buttons are upgraded to a high heat plastic

All the rebuild kits and springs are made with the updated contacts .

I will start loading the site with more mods tomorrow now that the upgraded contacts are in stock

Brass doors will start hitting the site as well this week

The springs are a negative contact ^^.
