Hi all;

I plan to place the order for a new supply of colored tubes, from my tube supplier, within the next couple of days. If you are interested in a colored, carbon-fiber shaft (as per previous posts), please let me know ASAP...

THANKS!

Steve

Don't suppose they come with a stronger, better arm cup than the standard Minelab one?

He used to offer a custom made hefty arm rest as an extra cost option, but it does not appear that he still offers that option any longer on his website. Maybe he can special order it for you, though.

Steve will have to give you the definitive answer, but I think I just saw he has a new shipment of the Herke arm cuffs for the EQX. Herke makes an AWESOME cuff. I had one on my E-Trac, and I have one on my CTX. I haven't gotten one YET for my EQX.

As for Steve's CF rods, they are top notch quality! I ordered one from him several weeks ago, but there has been almost non-stop rain since I got it. Every time we get a good day I'm play catch-up on my house and yard instead of hunting. I can't wait to try it out, but I see zero reason it wouldn't live up to expectations.

This is my blue CF rod next to the factory rod.

Thanks for the kind words, guys, and thanks for the endorsement, Jason! Really appreciated!

Matt -- Jason and vferrari are both correct; I WAS offering nice, black powder-coated aluminum arm cuffs from Jeff Herke, but he expected it to be a "one-time" special offer. However, demand was high enough that Jeff reconsidered, and now -- as Jason said, there is a new production run of the cuffs available (as of just a couple of days ago -- hence why I don't have them up on the website yet). The Herke cuffs come with an optional, padded neoprene cover as well; here are some pictures -- both with the cover (first picture), and without (the second two pics). REALLY nice cuffs...

I just wanted to let everyone know that I placed the order for the colored tubes today. I ordered a few extras, in a few colors, so if you didn't get your order in, in time, but intended to, check with me and I can let you know if I have extras, in the color you prefer. If I am not mistaken, I will have one or two extra sets of tubes in the following colors: Blue, Blue/Black, Red/Black, Silver, and Green.

Thanks all!

Steve

Hey Steve, where is the trade-in program to get this bling? ;) I've already bought everything but red / black would be badass. Guess it's an early adopter woe? Don't get me wrong, super happy!

Let me know when you want to meet up on the F75 / T2 shaft issue! I can easily meet you in OKC or Norman.

wallrat --

LOL! That's the only bad thing about introducing the colors; some, who already bought the black, want a colored one now!

Sounds good, on the F75/T2 thing. My only concern with that machine is the S-shaft; I would need to find out of my carbon-fiber tube producer can make a tube with bends in it...

Steve

P.S. I love what you have listed for your "detectors used," under your name, join date, and location! (Equinox 1000!)
