Re: Reedy Panasonic P-170 restoration-
You're really hooked on the pink lately. And yes, there is clearly a joke there, but I'll skip it since I am hooked on the pink(r/c)myself.
Looks like they'll clean up nice. You're clearly on your way, but I'll just guess damp rag on the top of white labels and careful work with a needle around the edge of the labels?

I have never seen the Reedy label on them before, but I remember racing the P-170's BITD and they were really really great cells for a short time-

What story, I don't know what you're talking aboutCharlie don't surf wrote:That's another story................ Hey you need to tell the story about these cells!!!!
Actually I have wanted to tell the tale. I think there was a "your best day in R/C" thread that I was going to spill it in.
Re: Reedy Panasonic P-170 restoration-
Any plans to reproduce that label? Seems like it would be fairly simple to do but I just dont have the time. Id pay someone to do it for me! Hint, Hint!!!
Im actually after the one pictured on the box of the Worlds car. I have the black cells in like new condition. Just dont have the Reedy cell stickers for a box art replica.

Re: Reedy Panasonic P-170 restoration-
I was jut going to add that you should put those together with braid, not bars, for the best look. If you assemble them.

Re: Reedy Panasonic P-170 restoration-
With the good graces of Treehugger and Justinspeed79 I have "plenty O' braid". But I won't put them together.............the untouched cells lasting that long have to stay that way

Re: Reedy Panasonic P-170 restoration-
cheat: prepare a display pack. It's not like you're going to use the battery to power anything.
heat and solder the ends of the 1" braid sections on a hard flat surface so they look like they have been soldered onto a battery. Allow to fully cool. then assemble with a thin film of silicone sealant between the back of the braid and the battery terminal. It should make a nice simulated pack for a shelfer and silicone can be easily removed from the cells if you change your mind.
