The REO Lounge - Part II

[davelog]

Last time I checked tracking, mine were due to arrive today also. I have to wait for DH to come home and deliver my mail and then my woodvil's and mini can be de-carto'd.

Can anyone tell me the differences between the 2.0 and the 2.1? I don't know which one mine is? Can you tell from a picture? I was wanting to buy parts but not sure which kit to buy. Also, does the round button fit on the mini? I dislike that pointy button it came with. Thanks!

The 2.1 has slightly rounded corners on the back, and a wider catch cup to accommodate more rba's. The A7 mini will fit in a 2.0.

Surprise, surprise, surprise ! I'm up for a two night run to Ohio! Didn't think that would happen until middle of the week, but this one just fell into my lap. Loaded, strapped, fueled, came home for shower, coffee and vaping supplies. Twists charged, T3's rewicked. mini refilled with fresh battery (and spare). The VV Grand stays home, too precious for the beating a big truck produces. Coffee brewing, time for quick shower and head back to the yard for a nine hour drive tonight. Take care REOVille, I'll be rolling back this way around wednesday

Enjoying the view with my 2.1 in sunny Huatalco
And as always the picture is sideways

I assumed it just had to do with the curvature of the earth relative to our position here in the cold country.

Mini 2.1 (white)....Mini 2.0 (red) It's mostly all in the diameter of the catch cup.

Yes, the buttons should fit. If you're looking for tubing, pick the kit for the 3ml bottle set up. The spring would be for the metal reos.

Have a safe and uneventful drive.

The 2.1 has slightly rounded corners on the back, and a wider catch cup to accommodate more RBA's. The A7 mini will fit in a 2.0.

Mine does have rounded corners on the back, the same roundness as the front. Would that make it a 2.1 then?

Will the round button fit on it?

 

[vsummer1]

Mini 2.1 (white)....Mini 2.0 (red)

That clinches it, I have a 2.0. I sure hope the mini A7 fits it....

I think the 2.1 is more rounded in the back

It does. That's why I have 2 sitting in my mailbox

OMG...disregard this....I clearly can not read.

 

[davelog]

Lisa,

The mini A7 fits the 2.0. The standard A7 doesn't.

 

[vsummer1]

No...the A7 doesn't quite fit. Almost. I just checked on my red. The A7 mini will fit it though.

I have a regular A7 that I use with the adapter, but hate the adapter's look. I don't think I ordered enough mini's though since I got the woodvil's and they need some lovin' too. This is a very high class problem I must say...

Hi rhapsodie, just noticed where you live, I live about 20 miles from the original Bellingham, in Northumberland, in northern England.
It's a lovely little village that's been around there since somewhere around the 1200's

Hi Frank
I bet it's beautiful. Our little city (been decades since it could classed as a town or village) is a lovely place in the midst of beautiful waterways, mountains and lakes. But somehow I bet it doesn't hold a candle to the beauty your Bellingham has. I see yours is also surrounded by a lot of farmland.

That's all there is there, but it's in the same area, as hadrians wall, so it's quite popular with tourists. Closest big place is a town called Hexham, which has one of the most beautiful cathedrals in the UK

I knew I had heard of that village before. Mark Knofler speaks of Northumberland in his song "Sailing to Philadelphia".

Knoffler comes from just down the road from where I live.
Don't know if you've ever heard of an old old song, from the 1860's called BLAYDON RACES, that's where I originate from, not far from Newcastle upon Tyne

...*sigh* to walk within those halls... or tour the wall... It must be awe inspiring. I can see why it's such a popular destination.

Not a great lot left of the wall, they've excavated roman forts, & dwellings, along the wall, you can still see the route of the wall, & walk along some of it, but it's all grassed over.
The wall ends on the banks of the river Tyne, in a place, believe it or not, called wallsend, a suburb of Newcastle, & there's a massive museum there, with an excavated roman villa, well worth a visit
