I no longer carry boots. I closed them out. Doc

Good temporary fix. Doc

Guys I am so sorry. It has been brought to my attention that the arm cover strap is slipping through the slit in the plastic arm cuff cover. When I OK'd the prototype, it was perfect as the end of the strap was doubled over and stitched that causes a little "tongue", to insure it would not slip through the slot. Of course when you approve the prototype that is supposed to be what the production item is supposed to look like. Murphy's law is in full effect. They forgot to double the end over and stitch it to cause a little tongue that keeps it from slipping through the slot. The strap on the left is the prototype made correctly, of course the first batch they sent me are made without that extra stich to cause a "tongue." For those of you who have already ordered I will be sending you ones made properly but it might take 30 days. In the mean time, you can use the strap that came with your GM2K. Or you can send your strap back to me and I will run a stich through it so it will work properly. Or if you have a sewing machine or needle and thread you can fold the double over end in toward the Velcro® type material and stich it as shown in the picture. That essentially will give you the little tongue. So sorry about this, it's always something. Doc

Sorry, not at this time. I have too much invested in one color. Doc

You still should be able to do it with Ebay International Shipping. It won't let you do that either? One of the reasons I put shipping to U.S. only is because of the extra piece that is being made for the cover which some people had requested to cover the battery tube. I offered to ship it for free in the U.S. when it is ready. But I can't do that outside the U.S. I think shipping the smallest package to Australia now stands at $35 some dollars U.S. If you want the battery cover I would suggest waiting when it can all be shipped together. Doc

Thank you. Will go out tomorrow. Doc

To keep things on schedule. I'm not going to add the battery housing cover right now. It would just slow things down and I am getting bombarded with people telling me the GM2000 is taking a beating. Is this machine unstable? Is it falling over a lot? That's the problem with a small coil when the control box is top heavy, they seem to flip over easily. I am assuming that is what is happening. So what I am contemplating is to have an additional piece designed and fabricated, after the initial run, that can be retro fitted to the battery tube. Doc

I'm hoping to keep it around the $75 mark. Fingers crossed. Last time I got nicked 50% for import and tariffs. Usually it's only 15% Doc

Won't know until I see what import duty with the tariff is going to be. Worst of all textiles have a ridiculously high duty to begin with. Doc

Here's pictures of the final prototype, going into production. Got together with Rob Allison to try this on his Gold Monster 2000 as I don't have any in stock. Rob confirmed it is a perfect nice tight fit, all holes align, speaker mesh in the right place, big plastic viewing window. It's a go! One caveat. Because this cover is so well fitted, the little rubber plug that covers the headphone jack, it has to be removed temporarily, put the cover on, then put the little plastic plug back on. Takes a second to pop it off and back on. Merry Christmas to all and looking forward to 2026. Supposedly, I am supposed to have a certificate of occupancy January 26th. for the new warehouse. I'll believe it when I see it. By the way. A lot of folks don't understand what that wrap around is on the upright under the battery housing. That little piece may save you a lot of money. Minelab has molded this clip into the upright that you are supposed to jam your coil cable into. I can tell you that doing that repeatedly will eventually short that cord out. So instead of messing with trying to wedge that cable into that plastic clip, we just give you a wrap around with a hook and loop closure to make it quick and easy to secure your coil cable. It might not be as big a deal now, with only one coil available. However, as other coils become available this will make it much easier to swap out coils. Also as you can see it in the photo on the Gold Monster 1000, there is a small hole in the wrap around, that is so you don't lose the wrap around. You unscrew the little metal cable that keeps you from losing the battery door, remove it from the battery door and thread the cable through the hole in the wrap around. Then thread the cable back through the battery door and screw it together. Now both the battery door and the wrap around are safe from being lost. I know these are little picky details, but I'm a gold prospector too, and I don't like minor aggravations. I'm out there to find gold, not spend 5 minutes trying to wedge a coil cable into a molded piece of plastic. I've noticed the more frustrated I get the less likely I am to get on the gold... I think it's because I'm getting old and crabby. 🤪 Doc

Thank you Frank, that is so great to hear. Merry Christmas Brother! Doc
