That locking mechanism...

[SavePaperVapor]

Is it save to pop out that locking pin? I have the big button top and I seem to always slide it just enough to where it locks on me all the time. I figure with my Reos having the big ERA on top the chances of needing it locked are slim to none. In fact, I have yet to lock it on purpose.

I got rid of the pin on my Grand a long time ago, no problem. It always seemed to go into the locked position too easily. I have several other metal REO's that have enough tension to keep them unlocked until I wish otherwise, but the Grand was always a bit loose.

You can either remove the button and remove the pin or take something and just push the pin in.

Just remember that you will no longer have a lock on it.

Excellent. I'm going to do this right when I get home. Thanks

Fwiw, I did not have much luck with just pushing the pin into the button on either of my Grands. Your experience may be different but I had a problem with the button hanging up on occasion after I had pushed it in--hanging up in the firing position. Just couldn't get the pin pushed in to where it was perfectly flush. I was near to a melt-down a couple of times.
I contacted Robert and he instructed me about how to disassemble my Grand enough to remove the locking pin entirely. I would be glad to pass those instructions on to you if you need them. Good luck!

You can always get a button without the locking pin I have a bucket of them

Well.....you still have to take the button out to replace it. Might as well just push the pin out while you're at it and save the postage for a no-pin button, don't you think? Typical merchant, always trying to drum up business.

That's a good idea. I don't have cash for lil buttons when I keep spending that cash on Reos. lol. By the way, order incoming.

I was just trying to be nice . Some folks struggle with the button and having a spare is a good thing . Your right I do sound like a greasy salesman

So does this mean I can order my next Reo with no roll pin ? It feels so wrong tearing a new mod apart when I can have a professional do it for me

Yes you can order it without the lock . I never use the lock myself but I always have the option on all of my mods

No. No, you never do and never have, my friend. I never mind handing my money over to a man like you.

Rob isn't a greasy salesman but I wish he would stop leaving his greasy egg roll crumbs in the shipping packages

My shirt-pockets are in the process of rounding the corners of the Grands I have now and they are coming along nicely. Like I told you the other night, I'm working on a brushed finish a year at a time.

The gentle rounded corners are a very nice touch. In my newness, I have never had to suffer thru those micro fillets of old.
