enigmatic Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Well they just came in… (8) Smart Point sockets available FREE to anyone that has the savvy to install them on their detector! I have connected the smart point to my detector and they fit! If you have an existing system using a phone jack 1/8 you can replace it with this socket, but you have to use a traditional stock Minelab gold button set up to use it! This is not a complete install kit. You still need the wires… The first (8) personal messages get the socket package…Included your address…One per person. PLEASE do not do a (AddReply) to get one of the smart points. Also please be careful installing them. Remember only two of the three pins on the smart point are hot…the third pin is not active. I include two splices and two zip ties. I was only able to get a total of ten smart points. I am keeping two of them and the smart points have not been obtained threw Minelab and the supply is exhausted. The reason I am doing this is my gratitude for everyone commitment for sharing information and ideas. Also PLEASE be careful on drilling into the control box…the end cap should be off, make sure no shaving go inside the box, blow out the inside control box with a can of air just to be sure. When you drill be sure that the socket placement will not interfere with closing the cap after installation! AGAIN drilling is the most critical part…Anyone modifying does so at their risk. If the is a big demand for these items I can try other avenues to obtain them…but I cannot keep doing this for free if there is a big demand. The eight individuals who obtain the smart points will have there names given to prove their is nothing dishonest happening here!
