Below are the Switchcraft parts numbers for 5 pin Tesoro connectors. Some of the online websites that sell electronic, like DigiKey, have them but may have added and X or other letter on the end.

5-pin Male coil cable plug = SL415M
5-pin Female control housing plug = SL405F
Strain relief spring for cable = SL05

I have the 5pin conversion on my Compadre as mine was originally hard wired,it does make the detector alot more flexible in what it can do,currently use 2 coils on mine the 4'' and 7'' Concentric coils although the latter is the one that is used the most as not only does it give you some extra depth but also extra ground coverage as well.

For the price the Compadre i dont think can be beaten for finding small gold and also with this coil connector mod it makes it even better,not sure if a GB mod can be done on this machine ???

Ive done this mod with useing a cable extension. 5 pin. Snip and hardwire. . . I currently now run 3 compadres. My main goto compadre is my headphone unit with a new Epsilon 11x8'' DD. unreal performance. Very pleased.
