Reo Lounge Part V

Afternoon REOville

Hope all is well. I just got home from the doctor and he has me scheduled a CT scan. What I was hoping the new pain in my upper stomach was only heartburn turns out not to be the case. So a look at my pancreas is in order. I guess I'll know more Friday.

Have a great day.

Fingers crossed for you, Gil. My sister had the same pain, thought it was pancreas or gallbladder, but it turned out to be a benign cyst that had accumulated over time - easy fix. Hoping something similarly trivial in your case, brother.

I'm a thumb presser. I like it that way .

Yeah for backward people like me, the Reo is left handed. I fire it with my index and squonk it with my ring finger. I like it better that way, because I can drink my coffee with right.

good evening reoville

 

[Rev. Stabard]

Doing well here Fleet. Sometimes new like I finally have some work tomorrow so I hope it works out. And vet says Dora can get her s fond leg fixed now so that's a good thing .

I hope the work works out for you as well. Dora is the one that hurt herself a few months back isn't she? If I recall you couldn't get it fixed then.... Glad to hear that's working out as well. All the best to you!

good evening reoville

Good evening, Scott!

heya Fleet how are you ?

 

[lucky_x16]

The o-ring isn't special. It's just an o-ring as far as I know. You can run to the hardware store or automotive store and match one up. Heck look around the house there is probably one in the kitchen faucet or something.

His atty Orings come in two sizes. 1mm x 10mm and 1.5mm x 10mm. And yes the different sizes make a difference.
I have found that not using his modded attys I can use the 1mm x 10mm ones, but for the non REO attys, I have to use the 1.5 x 10mm attys.
The REO attys will not make a connection inside the 510 without the 1mm x 10mm oring.

heya Fleet how are you ?

I'm doing good, Scott. Got something halfway decent to eat for dinner, playing a bit of guitar and just relaxing. We've had weather alerts for black ice tonight and yesterday. The black ice up here is bad, usually made worse by a thin coat of rain to make it impossible to see and slippery as all get out. I don't even go into my parking lot to my car if I can help it. It's been a mild winter so far and I'm not complaining about that

I use it the same in my left hand with my thumb but I'm a little bit ambidextrous

Yes Fleet Dora is the one with the bad legs one is fixed the second to go yet will find out soon when that will be

I didn't get pizza but I did get a meatball parm sub from the pizza place. I'm sure it has pizza molecules on it

The danger of not using an o-ring is that if you ramp the atty down too hard without it, that you will ruin the internal gasket in the 510, not that it will not make a connection. If you do that - it's a trip to Rob.

There are 2 places you can use an o-ring on say a RM2. One is under it, in the drip well - and that allows you to position the airhole to your liking (i.e not in your face!)

The other is between the cap and base of the atty - and that can be useful if you are trying to make the airhole align with the coil inside the atty.

Don't forget that a lot of atties have an adjustable centre pin, so making a connection is really not a matter of using an o-ring or not, since that would obviously increase the distance needed to make an electrical contact.

Time will tell how much of this the new 510 connections will alleviate. Certainly, gasket damage will be one of them, as will air hole placement.

Doing alright Scott and you ?

pretty good buddy

 

[supertrunker]

An o-ring is one way to avoid gasket damage to begin with.

Another is to screw your atty on and hold the fire button at the same time - when it fires - stop!

I wrecked one Reo 510 and that was rank bad luck and Sod's Law. It hit the ground a certain way.

From what I've seen I hold mine backward anyway. Using my index finger is a habit I picked up trying to hold my tanks more upright.

I also use my index finger! But, i have been told i am a rebel, so there that
