Reo in need of some TLC

[Riaz]

Howsit reonauts.

I'm looking for someone, preferably in CT that can give my reo a good and proper service.

I'm talking full monty- basically restoring it to new again (everything besides the paint- which is still good) I know there's not much else that can be done LOL

Things I can think of thus far-

Ultrasonic bath
Swopping positive plate with new one (which I have)

And anything else needed to show her some love.

This reo has sentimental value to me and I think it's time she gets a little appreciation.

Please let me know if you are able and what the cost would be to have this done.

Have you looked at the reo pit stop thread?
Hoe about hot water and Epsom salt bath for a few hours with vinegar too.

Followed by a sunlight toothbrush scrub.

We can talk you through the positive contact replacement etc.

If it does not have the adjustable 510 one could install the whole repair kit, but only if necessary - e.g. leaking from below the 510. A more expensive option is to send it to the modmaster to install the adjustable 510 - I would not.

Look at the fire button - any melting? If so, put in the heat resistant button.

Looks in perfect condition from the outside and, I suspect, the inside too. If so, just an ultrasonic bath and maybe replace the positive pin, if really required. Videos in the Reo Basics thread on how to do the latter.

@Gazzacpt would do any work justice imo.

Oh, and get a Origen Little 16

You know were I live, pop in and we'll do a stripdown clean and assemble. I have a few spares as well if we see anything amiss.
