CPC Modifications

I really like my CPC 1100 XLT, that Ive had since the summer .
But I found on mine in particular , the female plug that the unit came with was faulty.
It would be slewing and instantly go off and on so fast you would hardly notice .
You would be in the middle of getting the thing set-up and aligned and the power kept glitchin.
So what I did was a easy fix, under cover was a plug coming from the factory 12 volt female jack and from this jack was a red and black wire , I soldered the wires to their matched new banana style jack.
I now have a larger gauge wire coming from my power supply, which is a bunus and the wire fits nice and tight when tighened on ,rather than plugging in.
anyways im ranting again
I have attached a picture of this mod.
