There are a couple of guys on the Forums that have done this mod and seem to be having a ball playing with different coils both larger and smaller. I put a plug on my old Amigo 2, which is a early version of the Compadre so I could change coils on it. It does void the Warrantee on it and I certainly would not have done that to a more expensive machine. Don't know how much of a job it would be to do on the Compadre, but there was so little room on the inside of the Amigo 2, and I am dumb as a stump at that sort of thing. At the very correct advice of Ty Brooks I put the plug on the outside of the box, about 12" or so and it works just fine. That way and I didn't have to worry about me screwing up anything on the inside, which I most likely would have had I gone the inside route. Just my thoughts, and it would be cool if you could get some input from those guys that have already done the mod on their Compadres. HH, Charlie
