Time to restore this Reed 204. It doesn’t really have much original finish appeal left (to me) so I’ll go ahead and paint this one. First Reed I’ve disassembled. Interesting deliberately-cracked nut holds in the main screw. Damn I like Reeds. Everything is so nicely machined and fit. Sent...

Chris and sgs is there a way to get a WIDE one? My slot is 1 5/8” long and fairly wide. I don’t want to risk further damaging my slot. Sent from my iPhone using The Garage Journal mobile app
