LOVE the botton choice!

 

[WannaGetHealthy]

LOL........I commented before I read all the postes....I must say, while it may not be able to please every single person, it does appear that this button selection pleases an easy majority! Fine work sir, fine work indeed.

With the button being operated with the index finger, why not put the bottle squonk window below the button like an Ali'i? It's awesome being able to squonk with your ring finger and fire with the index.

I would think that'd require extending the internal divider so you'd have a solid surface to push the bottle against. With the squonkhole on the door, you have the back of the mod to provide resistance against the bottle.

I vote the squonk hole stays just where it is. It is a REO and the squonk hole in the door is not a problem. It gives the REO a trademark look also.

 

[whatitstrue]

I also firmly belive squonk hole belongs in the door. It wouldnt be a grand any other way!!!

Good. Decision is made. No additional discussion from other people needed.

Can you try a "blind grapping test"? How does the button perform, if you don't hit him directly in the center? What if you press him a kind of sideways? How does he perform in the pub, after three beer (german pils!!!), during heavy discussion with your neighbor about best sport team or most beautiful wood?

The Woodvil 18490, my Mrs. Cocobola, passed the pub blind gripping test perfectly. The Vpage Vmod and the madvapes Roughstack didn't passed the pub test.

I'm a perfect candidate for this test. Get me round trip airfare and I'll experiment

 

[amarti]

Sorry, no time.
Rob won the picture search test and we will meet tonight in the old town. 24 pils.

You Germans never could party

 

[D4rk50ul]

Top of the morning to ya.

 

[amarti]

Generally you are right.
Personally you are totally wrong. Just remember Octoberfest.

But now back to VV and buttons:

Rob, do you have any plans for this ugly, shiny peace of much to heavy iron? Where you easily can see any kind of scratches. If you want, I could take this heavy weight from your backs.

I like your idea. Make the door solid with no hole. Make the squonk hole underneath the button. Make it so it doesnt show from the front or back. Taper the edges of the hole much like the button is reccessed. Extend the divider inside the mode down more. I think this would be just as functional if not more than where the hole is now. Hold your grand and try it with the hole on the side compared to where it is now. TO me its much easier. I think the mod would look better too. Just because something is, doesnt mean it has to be. I think this is a good case of form following function. I'll bet your $10,000 (Mitt Romney) this won't happen but its a very good thought.

And one more thing. Since the button won't be on top why use the design from the old. Just square it off flat with the catchcup recessed inside. Viewd from three sides the grand would be a retangular block of aluminum, very sleek in my opinions. I know not many will agree to this but why use legacy design. Also I think the milling would be less complicated with a squared off top.Hey its still a Grand. Its possible that doing this might even make the VV slight shorter in design because squaring the top adds a slight amount of space up there. Only Rob could answer that.

 

[beezer]

I like that ambidextrous idea as well

 

[tmcase]

Guys! If Rob makes these major change requests for the squonk hole that will set back production for weeks, maybe months. Is it really worth it?
