thanks for your reply.............

i have the XP Goldmaxx mk1 can you explain (auto dial)
you make it sound easy but i would love to see some pictures or diagrams if anyone was to have some.
here is a picture i found of one fitted. not a very clear one but the switch is fitted to the straight shaft handdle grip and the control box seems to have a audio jack plug fitted. i asume this is so you can still hip mount the machine when need be.

i have only ever fitted the switch to the power so you dont have to run in auto all the time. even the gmp struggles on some coke especially when its wet. although it can be fitted to the mk1.

did you take any pictures at the time of doing the mod.

xp goldmaxx mk1

on the goldmaxx mk1 you need a on off push button and simply run the the two wires to the on off part off the disc dial not the three legs from the potentiometer you are then in control from where ever you mount the button in front of the foam grip is best. if you look at other mk1 xp owners who had this done you will notice that the disc dial will be left at number 8 once the switch is fitted it just lets you switch back to all metal 3 tones and then back to check coke with the disc set at 8. i suppose it saves fiddling with dials all the time when out in the fields. the same goes for the goldmaxx power but the switch for that mod is a push to make contact and this just overrides the auto on off switch dial once again it just saves turning round and clicking in to auto all the time.
