Thank you Pierce. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Grey sounds like the way to go. I agree, the R series Reeds seem to have been well engineered and built.
Thank you. New to the user group so thanks for the suggested redirect. Started to tear it down and it looks like the vase paint may be grey. Build date 11/49.
Just picked up a Reed 105R. Been casually looking for this model for a while and this one came up today locally. Am interested in knowing what color it was painted when it left the factory. Have not looked for the date codes yet. Let me know if that helps answer the color question. Thanks In...
