The REO Lounge - Part III

[ltrainer]

Hello Reoville and welcome to the new Reonauts that joined our merry band of vapers. My name is Laurin, Loren or Lauren, whatever you care to use. Is it normal to get excited about vape mail if its a DMM? I've been using a Centek DMM from Harbor Freight for 3 years (actually 2 of them as the first one broke). What do you want for $3.00? So I ordered a new DMM and its sweet. I know you all are dying to see this so here it is.

Hold the applause.
I use the dohicky more than anything for battery readings. THanks Oscar.

Yes and no - she won't because it would make her a supplier and violates ECF rules.

Oh nice! Where did you find that gem?! I bought a fluke before I knew any better... (And my dad works at ford so he gets a huge discount on them) and wish I would have spent a ton less!

Well that's too bad, :/ I wish there was a way around it.... Maybe I'll just find out her paypal addy and send her a gift lol!

Maybe you will! The covers are great btw - i have a raw grand like yours - but i polished it all apart from the door which i left alone. That has one of her covers so i don't have to polish it much!

Tommy and Matt, Usually the Reoville Welcome Wagon would have come by your house with goodies for you...some sample juices, cotton balls, a few feet of Kanthal...but it blew a rod cruisin down I90 2 days ago. So keep you ears open for the doorbell. Garbage pickup is Wednesday. Don't put it in road, just on the edge of your property please. Any questions, call the mayor.

Amazon...$18...auto ranging DMM,,and runs on AA batteries, not 9V. Easy to use.

Is it a rough finish? I'm kinda looking forward to something that isn't the norm since I have 10 or so tube mods and all are shined up and I can't stand shinning them.....

yeah - it's raw tumbled - it feels pretty smooth, but it has a bit of grip to it. I shied away from the wrinkled ones because i work in a filthy hovel and i'm bone idle and only clean my Reo when it screams!

Then i polished it anyway - took me all of 15 minutes and no power tools (see idle above) - and apart from the door that is how i like it. Popped it in a Karen cover and i'm good!

It is one of the 2 that i don't take to work because it looks rather good. My daily beater for over a year has been my black grand - but even that has had a facelift and now cannot even win a "most beaten up Reo that still works" contest!

Alright now that's gorgeous..... How did you go about polishing it? I might just polish the door and leave the rest just so we don't have twins. Lol!

Mother's mag polish and 3 coats and wipes off - 15 minutes maximum.

+1 on the Mothers Mag.

LOL Jen - you do have good hearing! - i was going to say Bat's ears - but i stopped!

[IMEDICx90]

I will look into this polish. I assume you can get it at a local hardware store like homedepot or lowes?

Amazon is a sure bet.

 

[supertrunker]

i got mine at Autozone or such - a car shop. The added benefit is that the wife cannot buy a new .......table, lights, kitchen gear .... there!

[IMEDICx90]

Lol true that! And probably a stupid question but how long does it usually take for your REO to reach your doorstep? I have this itch in my hand and for some reason only a box mod will scratch it!

I didn't hear anything...I'm just bouncing off the walls after the Woodvil pics went up tonight.
