Looking For Info. On X-Terra Rear Headphone Jack Mod.

[JaWi.]

Seen a mod. someone done on running a cord from the X-Terra head to the rear for your headphone hookup. This would make the X-terra alot more freindly it would seem. Would like more info. on the mod. or where this might be purchased? Thanks Joe

and yes it does work great with the headphone chord plugged into the back of the machine instead of the control head.

Hi JaWi,

This is what I did to my machine & posted on the forum.

Made a couple of modifications to the X-Terra 50 today, I found I kept getting tangled with the headphone cable, so I made a 90 deg adapter plug for the headphone socket, then made up & fitted a extension cable that I fed down between the handle & foam grip & into the top part of the armrest shaft, feeding the cable through the shaft to the end.
I gently pulled out the end cap, drilled & fitted a headphone socket, now when I put the detector down beside me I don't have the cable laying across where I am digging.

"Jeff's arm cuff is definitely first class in terms of look, feel and construction. I have been using it on my E-Trac since before they came out and would not go back to the original.

It is mentioned in the book but you can get info on it at the following location:

There's other info there as well . . . Andy"
