Rare reos.

Rob, could you give the production numbers for the early runs?

This info is valuable for future generations!

Thanks!

That's okay. It was probably sometime ago and you've made a heap of mods since!

If anyone has questions about their older reos, ask away !

These are all mods I was dabbling with when I was just a guy modding my first bottom fed mod tube mods 3.7 and a 5 volt . usb mods and a 5 volt box mod that was top fed this was a cool little mod the atomizer sat down inside the mod I made a completely sealed chamber for it it was way ahead of its time . I think if I made one out of metal it would have been a hit . I fell in love with feeding atomizer from the bottom and never pursued it

.....Yes the woodvil 18490 is rare and hard to come by these days but IMO the Woodvil 14500 is just as Rare.

After hunting for one of the elusive 14500's for almost two solid years now, I absolutely agree with this statement.

That would have totally changed the path of reos. They are some really cool relics.

I dont no who ended up with this mod but I wish I would have kept it for myself

The first Wood REO's were not called Woodvils, Just REO's

Yes the woodvil 18490 is rare and hard to come by these days but IMO the Woodvil 14500 is just as Rare.

Rob started on the metal mods with the Mini (First run was 25 polished ones) I have one. and the nickels were only one short run of 25 or so maybe less.

Other then that you got it.

were there 18490 wood Reos before the 18490 Woodvil? (my first and favorite Woodvil was a 490 cocobolo from the classies)


and now i must go back to kicking myself for being too thick to pull the trigger on the nickel that showed up in the classies a few months back...

Same, I was so close myself.

That one was picked up by a guy (who will remain nameless) who then sold it a week or so later. Delilah got it from him. Eventually, the door was broken and she sent it back to you for a new door. As far as I know, she still has it.

Excellent thread, and getting the historian's view from all the pioneers of the REO product is such a treat.
Thank you all for sharing.

Yep, 18490 woodvil then came the matel 18490.

oh yes I remember I should have put that one in the vault

More would be awesome, eat some pizza, no need to go hungry.

The woodies are really gorgeous and I almost had one as my first REO but unfortunately I was at the right place, wrong situation. Ahh no worries in time I'll have one or more but in the meantime, one REO has definitely caught my attention.....the NICKEL REO! One with a blue door to be exact! Man o MAN I wish I was around when they rolled out. I read about how much a PITA they were, especially the nickel doors so I doubt we'll ever see those roll out again......right Rob?

I'm sure he's gone off to get some grub. But your guess is right...Nickels won't be back. Too many losses to cover the cost.
