DX-1 TARGET PROBE ??

[nitro74d]

This might be a dumb question but I see on amazon that they are selling two different looks of probes, one has a black probe with a red cap and the other is an all white probe. I was just wondering if one was an older version or what? The all white one states it is by Jimmy Sierra product though.

Thanks,

Charles

Not a dumb question at all.
The DX-1 being sold by Jimmy Sierra Products is apparently a DX-1 manufactured by Sun Ray. The photo, if accurate, would indeed reflect an older model probe. Earliest models were white with a curly cord, followed by white probes with a straight cord, then finally a black probe with a straight cord.
However, the electronics involved are going to be the same between the three styles. So, if the white ones on Amazon are being sold as new, for 3 dollars less, you'll have to decide if you really want white, really want to save three whole dollars, or are willing to spring the big bucks for a black one.

If you go to Jimmy Sierra's website, you'll see he's still using a photo showing a white probe with curly cord, but I doubt he's selling anything that old. They would have sold out years ago.
You could just skip Amazon altogether and just buy directly from Ralph at Sun Ray. You can't go wrong buying from the guy that makes them.

Great,
Thanks for all the info. I think I will get it straight from Sun Ray then.
