This has probably been brought up before, but...Has anyone found a shield of some sort for the faceplate of these machines?? I know if I didn't have one on my E-Trac it would be beat all to pieces. Sadly, I don't have any protection on this fine little mud monster. Do you folks have any suggestions on how to keep from scratching up the faceplate and screen, other than keeping the machine safe and dry? Thanks!!

Hey L8Braker --
I have put one of those adhesive "handheld device" plastic covers on mine...the kind you can cut to whatever dimension you want, and then stick to your blackberry or iphone or whatever. They are relatively inexpensive, and for me, they work well. Got the idea from someone else on the forum and it has worked for me.
Hope this helps,
Steve

The people you have sent email email to probably won't be able to help with one that is custom made. However if you buy one of their shields for the iPad you can cut several pieces out of it for the detectors you may own. I did that for my 3 Teknetics/Fisher machines and still have some left to go around. I just traced a piece of paper to match the display area and then cut it out with a razor blade. I got mine on sale for $20 at Christmas. get the screen nice and clean first and don't get any lint on it and you will hardly even notice it's there.
When you made the screen cover, did you make it large enough to cover the entire faceplate? I'd like to remove the knobs, cover the entire surface and replace the knobs...I'm getting some dirt into the screen area....From the loose fit between the knurled pot and faceplate. Thanks, Rod.
