    anyone ever replace the foam handle?

    I've used the tennis racquet replacement tape from a sporting goods store, Dick's Sporting Goods, with good success.

There is sometimes enough gases generated during the cleaning process that will cause a splatter of stuff to come spurting out. The vibrating tumbler barrels don't seem to do that. Had that...

    Looks like a new software update?

I had a problem installing the update, tried two different computers and then cleaned the contacts on the back of the detector and the cable. I used isopropyl alcohol (90%, it has no emollients in it) and a...
