All the cannons come with the labeling as do 801 minis. Not sure if he does all his attys but it sure is a nice feature. The powder coating is really sweet on the stealths which is what's atop my grand ;-)

Yeah, some really sweet reonaut made that for this reonoobieNow with a nickel/nickel coming I think I need to send some garment leather for a mini ;-) Gotta keep that rare & special baby pristine!\
Did you take pics of the pattern?
Nope, I forgot the pics....I'll have to do that....
Yep, we ran a strip of tape on the inside to hold it together until the glue dried...then we decided to just leave it in there...I'll take a couple pics tomorrow when the lighting is better...
This might work for CV Canons or art glass DTs, too, but not sure.
I had a Pyrex DT get stuck in a Cisco 306; one that was too large, in diameter for most of my 20 or more 306 DTs. That Pyrex tip was too big for most of my 306 attys. So it was a perfect match-up. I never push them down too tight but I was able to use this 306 for two weeks without cleaning it. Rare. So in use in constant use, DT worked down and got stuck. I didn't want to break it. I soaked them in PGA for a few hours; no go. Then put them in the sonic cleaner, in PGA, for 9 minutes; no go. It wouldn't come off wet or dry. So I put it in the fridge, over night, and the metal atty shrank just enough for the Pyrex DT to slip off even with out screwing it onto something to grasp the atty better. Just slipped right off.
I don't know if this would work for the "plastic" types but worth a try. I knew the Pyrex wouldn't be affected by the cold (shrinkage) but not sure about other materials.

You can get gunk built up in the button on the metal mods. Take your atty off. Take your bottle and battery out. Run the mod under hot water and work the button up and down while you do it. While you are at it, flush out the overflow well/atty connection and run water through the bottle tube, take a QTip dipped in alcohol and give the firing pin and overflow well a good wipe. Either let dry overnight or blow out with some compressed air, add some noalox on the firing pin, and you're good to go.

I keep hearing people banter-on about their only grievance with the REO is the door sometimes rattling. It's my second day as a REO owner, and I've found a simple, yet perfect fix...
Go to your local dentist's office and ask for a handful of small orthodontic rubber bands. If you can't, any other small rubber band will work.
Place one around your bottle, one around you battery, and your REO door will never rattle again.
Cheers!

Is there a way to lighten the draw on a Grand? When I first got the Grand a week ago, the draw was fairly light but as time went on the draw got stiffer. I've tried cleaning the atties and the juice cup/catcher but that hasn't helped.
Try unscrewing your atty a bit. They don't need to be tight at all. Just screw it on till you feel a bit of resistance then stop.
Thanks. Tried that but I have to get it to a point where it's loose enough to wobble a bit before the draw is light enough. It's a minor annoyance but I'll live with it for now. I'll try attys from other local vendors soon. Thanks again.
I was reading the "How would you improve the Reo" post- quite a few people mentioned making the button softer, 'easier' on your finger....
I only have a Reo Mini, so I am not sure if this works with the grands as well:
The Black rubber tip on a BD 3ml syringe plunger fits VERY well over the button. There's no interference with button movement, and it feels much better on your 'trigger finger'.
I guess you could glue it on, but so far feels like it will stay on*.

I used B&D 3ml syringes to mod the infamous clearo-fluxo mizers.
I saved the plunger and I am using the black rubber tip off the plunger.
