Deep Thoughts..

Hello,everyone.
I'm fascinated with the Idea of using a Reed Switch Inside,Epoxied to the inside of the Tube.If a Guy could find a small Magnet,perhaps Doughnut shaped ,or whatever,to Attache to the little Pin(Stop) that moves with the AM/PP shaft.Turning the Knob would swing the Magnet over the Reed Switch,eliminating that delicate PP/AM Pot....Not quit as convenient as the standard Mod,but,No additional Wiring needed....?

Also,how about sealed Water Headphones,filled with Mineral Oil, It's non-conductive and would eliminate any Corrosion.How would the Piezos do in a Liquid environment?...stoneshirt.

Much easier like this.......the pin point switch ...Mel Parkers Idea for the Excalibur over ten years ago, BB Sailors Idea for the Sovereign 14 years ago...... Notice the handle and the yellow push button...

I've tried many ways to protect the Piezo's, I can not share what I use........Mineral oil would be interesting but still restrictive. When it comes to Piezo's it's about restrictions...the less the better. The oil would be more like a dampener to the audio. I'm testing testing a set of headphones now that I plan on using with a new detector coming out soon. The piezo's are totally unrestricted, physically and audio wise. So far after a month of use in the water all is perfect.
