Have a guide on how to do this?!?
Could well be interested in doing this conversion myself on my Compadre,have 3 spare sets of headphones shells,so it would be a logic move to do the conversion and also mine has all ready had the 5 pin coil plug added so that my other coils will fit.
Will do a check tomorrow and see what is required if anything,just a guts transfer from the control box over to the new headphones.,thge reason i am interested in this project is that it will give me additional depth when river detecting in fords and ancient river crossings for roman votive offering,the current setup that i have the control mbox is mounted high up on a extended straight shaft,but this will give me even more wading depth if needed.

I'm assuminG that you hardwired the coil to the board because the strain relief won't fit?

Did you have to eliminate the speaker on the control side?

I guess he ain't talkin'?
he is a outta a sweepin 
no but really I have no idea where he is, shove the board in there drill a few holes bring the bits out that need to come out might be a tight fit but sure someone who has time and some soldering ability's could do this. then I am not having a go no need really.

Daddy thinks that it must be top-secret information, and he can dig that.
Sorry for the late response. Been lake hunting a good bit lately.
My favorite freshwater mod was with the compadre , greyghost headphones. and the epsilon DD 11x8. the coil wire was long enough to install hardwired inside the headphones and have plenty left over for swinging on a straight shaft.
I used the original speakers and volume control on the headphones and simply soldered into the circuit board so you then have a volume. I also made it a point to recheck the sensitivity trimpot and disc pots as well after installing. I like to run mine a bit on the hot side so with just a small bit of chatter to the trim pot and a simple back off. I managed nearly 13inches air testing with the combo and was a really easy mod to do. Basicaly your just moving the circuitboard over to the headphones and running a long battery wire over to the other side of the headphones. Drill 3 holes. toss in some solder and shrink tubeing. used a cable nutt off the original control box and add it to the headphones for the coil wire and solder in your battery wire. add some silicone around each drilled hole or epoxy. your in business . by all means shoot me an IM. if I can help.
