 That's great Woody.  Hopefully I will get my 3500 back from Australia customs or the Ausie or US mail, or where ever it is in time to send it back for all these new mods.

  My detector should be there or arriving any day now.   Can't wait to give it a try after you do the mods.   I might buy one of the amps and speakers from you also.
Thanks Woody.

  And you can get the same results from modifying a GP 3500??

 Sounds good Woody I'll do that.  My friend Mike said he called you today and is going to send his 5000 to you for mods.  He saw how good my 2100 runs and I mentioned I was sending this 3500 I just bought to you.  He wanted to get the 7000 and I said just send in your 5000 to Woody and get it modded. 
Thanks again.
Wes.

  Well, I bought that used 3500 and am getting ready to pack it up and send it to you for all the new mods.  Your website mentions an order form to fill out and send with the detector but I cannot find that form on your site.  How do I access and get the form to come up so I can print it.
Thanks

  I might be getting a GP 3500 for a really good deal.  I think the 3500 was the best analog machines Minelab came out with.  Would it be a better choice to have modded than my 2100 that's already been modded?  I might just buy this 3500 and send it to you and have all the mods done to it instead of sending my 2100 again.  Your thoughts?

Wes.

  Any idea yet what the additional mods to my 2100 would cost plus making an in line voltage regulator to run between the battery for my  4000 and my 2100.

  Sounds like I just may be sending you my 2100 again to have the additional mods done on it.
  If I do that I want you to build me a voltage regulator so I can use my GPX 4000 battery with my 2100.
  Take to you soon

  Our the new mods for the 2100 in addition to the ones you did on it several years ago.  What I would like to get is a voltage regulator for my 2100 that would go in line in the cable so I could use my gpx battery that is for my 4000 for my 2100.  I currently have the 12 volt Reeds Lithium battery with the voltage regulator turned up to 7.4 volts but it won't last forever and I cannot get another one.

Hi Woody
  My SD 2100 you modded for me years ago still works great but this is good news on the GPX's.  Will these new mods work with my GPX 4000?

General Discussion / Re: Battery for a GP series detector

« on: February 28, 2014, 03:52:32 am »

Thanks Woody
  That solves that issue.  I got Doc's amp and battery system that uses the small camcorder batteries, one system for my 2100 and one for my 4000, but I don't get out as much as I use to and forget to keep the batteries charged.  I've gone through about a half dozen of those small batteries because they just loose the ability to hold a charge.  I'm using the old Reeds Lithium 12 volt regulated system for the 2100 with the voltage adjusted up to 7.3 volts and it still works great.  That system is about 14 years old and I know it won't last forever. 
Thanks for your help.
Wes.

General Discussion / Battery for a GP series detector

« on: February 25, 2014, 01:54:01 pm »

Woody
  I have a question.  Since the GP series detectors have an internal voltage regulator could a GPX battery be used for a GP series detector if a power cable could be made for it.  I think minelab still only uses four wires in the power cord even though the cord for a GPX series is a five prong plug.  Am I right or wrong.  I'm looking at GP series detectors as a backup and to be modded but don't like that heavy battery.
Thanks, Wes Hawkins
