Detectorpro Headphone Toggle Size Question


Recommended Posts

Does anyone know the thread size of the toggle switches in the detector pro phones? Grey Ghost, Black Widow. I want to order toggle boots for them. I called detector pro and they had no idea on thread size. I know this thread gets lots of eyes. If I get an answer and the mods want to move this to somewhere else, thanks.

I am sorry that I don't know the size , however some auto part stores can measure them and tell you the size.

Without seeing them I have no idea.

You should be able to use a tape measure to find out what size they are by placing the part on the tape and finding the size that way.

Sorry I could not be much help.

That would be a good idea if my phones were not in Mexico.

I’ll look at my NDTs tomorrow, should be the same.

Thanks Steve, I really didn't know what to tell him and I figured that if you would see someone respond to his request that you would look at it.

If I had the part and I could see it I would be able to tell him what it is, but I don't have it.

Yes I agree. I spoke to the head guy. Stated they just buy them in batches, and has no idea in thread size. When I looked on ebay there are different sizes. Both in SAE and Metric. Just figured I was not the first one asking and someone would know. I have two sets of Black Widows. My older set, the switches are frozen from the salt air. Just wanted to protect my newer pair.

Thanks Dave

I have to admit to chickening out on this. My Nugget Buster NDT headphones have one mode switch, and they are sealed units. That means if I loosen that nut I may not be able to get it back on tight with no way to access the backside of the switch. The same issue would exist putting on a boot. I can't really determine the size or thread type accurately without taking it apart, unless somebody has some brilliant suggestion. The worst part is according to DetectorPro there is no standard, so I am not sure my switch is the same as what you would have anyway. I am open to suggestions but I don't think loosening that nut is a good idea at the moment.

Midalake, 

  Maybe an off the wall idea, but in the interim, you may be able to make your own out of liquid silicone, or liquid rubber! If you make a mold of the switch without taking it apart!

  Or apply a few  light coats to switch! May not be pretty, but should weatherproof it for awhile!

  Also, some auto parts stores carry the switches and boots! Maybe an option! 👍👍
