I've never looked inside a CZ model before, how compact is the electronics inside? could it be repackaged into something like the back of a T2? now that the face is off the box it seems a little boxey in the back of the rod.. I would think the rod from a BH Platinum would work well with this setup.

Just about any shaft will work this setup, the BH Platinum shaft you have in mind will work well.

Here's a pic of a CZ-6 QuickSilver circuit board, it's the same size as the 3D board both double stacked.

It's too big to fit inside something like the T-2 rear compartment, the Fisher housing is about the best size box for this size board plus it contains a battery slot and speaker in most cases.

Great news, managed to get this CZ-6 board going and it does operate from the CZ-3D control panel. Now both the CZ-6 and CZ-3D work with this new setup with the control panel above the handle, Takes 2-3 minutes to swap out boards.

I'd like to see a digitalized version of the CZ3d with a larger meter with numerical readout and ground and other info, keeping the knobs and package it in something like the F5 with a small micro circuit box under the elbow.

The boards should fit a box sim to the nautilus so everything is under the forearm,so all you have to do is look down at the meter .

Nice work Paul,

Not sure how I missed this one originally, but glad I found it while kicking thru some old posts.

Thanks Rich,

This was the first attempt, I've since changed it over to another same shaft setup. The first shaft snapped near the handle, and have since added a rare Elliptical DD coil to the neat shaft. Think Fisher only made four DD coils, luckily from a dealer friend he passed the DD to me.

Thanks Rich,
Paul

Paul always does a great job reconfiguring different units. I've seen quite a few of them first hand.
