REO Technical Issues/Shop Talk

It's inside, at the top. There's a black plastic piece that slides sideways, to go in between the top of the battery and the contact. You have to push the battery down a little, and then slide the lock to the right.

Not on mine, that I can see ...

Yeah, that's what I thought. I believe I'm missing something.

Mine looks exactly the same as yours does. I've been looking for the lock all afternoon!

You're right. Looks like they're missing. I would call or email Rob.

 

[Rule62]

Looks like they were forgotten, during assembly.

Just emailed him. Thanks!

Thanks y'all, I don't feel quite so stupid now.

 

[Debadoo]

wow, that is so weird. Glad you asked. I know one person that wishes his didn't have the locks on em.

I don't typically use the locks but with the side switch I really need it for transportation. Does anyone have any experience with pocket carrying without locking the switch?

not sure, but on those I wouldn't want to try it. I even lock my grands if I put em in my purse just to be safe.

I wouldn't take the chance. The button push on these is pretty light. Anyone who got one of last weeks P67s that is missing the lock should contact Rob.

I polished the door on my tumbled, a while back. I plan to do the body, some day; but I've been too lazy. I do it the old fashioned way. Take it apart, and wet sand it in the kitchen sink, under trickling water, with wet/dry sandpaper. Start with #600, then #1000 or #1500, then finish with #2000 or #2500. It's aluminum, so it goes fairly quickly. When you're done, you'll be able to see your face in it.

Thank you!

 

[Rule62]

Thank you!

When you're done, keep it nice and shiny with some Mother's Magnesium and Aluminum Polish. If you scratch it up, you can touch it up with the same 'wet sanding' procedure.

Yes, I burned up my wicks in my pocket because I forgot to lock my P67. Didn't notice it till my leg started getting hot. I would definitely not pocket it w/out the lock. I'm sure Rob will fix you up proper as fast as he can.

Good going on the old fashioned way. But if he has some soft buffing wheels after the sandpaper that would be sweet! He would be able to see the neighbours face in it

Would that be a baby's arm holding an apple?

​

Wow! I saw them at my college in '84. This is a lot more polished. Thanks for the memory.

The picture of the P67 sure looks like the same side button as the 2015 Woodvils.
If so the button lock is built into the side button assembly.
Turning the side button about 1/2 turn left or right locks and unlocks the button.
I don't have a P67.
Can anyone verify this?

It is different. It doesn't turn or lock.

 

[Train2]

While it DOES work like the woodville button otherwise, no - you don't turn to lock.
There IS supposed to be a plastic slider inside, that when pushed to the right inserts itself between the battery and positive contact. And at least a couple people in the recent batch seem to have gotten a mod missing that piece!

Honestly, I've never used mine -
