REO GRAND button falls out at every opportunity.

[Darthpistachio]

Hello all - I've just acquired a second hand reo grand and reomiser v2 here in the UK.

I've been itching to try out a bottom feeder for a while just to see if it is up my street - but the first thing I have noticed is that the firing button falls out at every opportunity - literally.

I've dismantled it and had a look at how it operates and there doesn't seem to be any built in design to ensure the button stays attched to the body. It falls out any chance it can get and this means that it is not a take out device at all and a firm stay in the house device until that's been rectified.

Now I am wondering if I am missing something here - or whether something is missing from the mod - it is second hand after all - but looking at the button on the reosmods site it looks exactly the same and seems to be a definite design problem.

I have already designed two ways to rectify it and ensure that you can take it apart and yet have it in place without fear of it falling out - but I'm going to need to get my friend to machine it out of delrin for me first.

So guys is this an inherent design flaw here with this mod??
