Clear PVC tubing, big enough for a sovereign circuit board?

[jtalley007]

Anyone ever bought clear PVC large enough for a sovereign circuit board?

I have always wanted to make my own water machine out of a sovereign and wanted to know if anyone has ever purchased this tubing?

My crazy goal is to have my nephew who is studying to be a machineist to cut some thick plexiglass down on a laythe to mimick the pod on an excalibur with one or two o-rings.

I know it will be some work but I have always wante to do it.

I don't want to use the box and cable clams, I want it to look and feel like a regular machine.

Love the technology but don't like the poor build quality of the newer excaliburs or being handcuffed to Minelab for a repair or failure to repair one.

My idea would also allow interchangable coils and headphones.

Wish me luck cause I am not an electronics guy by a long shot.

Sound like a good idea,what about the air in side the new control box would it not want to try and float ??? of course i could be miles out as i have never done it myself.

Ive thought of a magnet interface as a possibility as well. So my question IS. Are any of the electronics effected by magnetism? So far from what I can tell modern electronics appear to be OK.
Just starting to think about my interface so any wisdom would be appreciated.

Check the web and local suppliers of plastic products.
You can purchase polycarbonate round tubing, rectangle tubing, etc
Then machine for o-rings for the front and rear caps, that can be glued in place or mechanicaly fastened.
You may even find the seller has a scrap room of cut offs sold cheap by the pound.
