Has anyone got one or know of where I could get one. I'm after a damaged or scratched up Valentine 1 radar detector, maybe one that was in an accident or something similar.

I'm prepared to pay for it based on condition, not after a complete freebee.

I'm trolling through trademe most days, haven't seen a damaged one on there yet, any chance you can point me to it (my search criteria might not find it)?

If I had one, I think I would wire a detonator up to the 12V socket and fill it up with a bag of gentian violet, and leave it in my car for the PR!@K that stole my last 2!

No, not at all. I just don't want to pull a brand new one apart incase my idea doesn't work, I'd rather practice on a damaged unit first.

Hi Guys, I PM'd you about the project of mine but haven't heard anything back. If you do want to rid yourselves of the damaged units I'd be happy to give you a few notes and send a self addressed courier bag for you to courier it back to me.

To anyones else out there, if you have a damaged unit hiding in the back of a cupboard somewhere that isn't working I'd be happy to give you some money for it and as above a self addressed courier bag.

Cheers

Hope your not building a anti radar gun, I got into a lot trouble using one I built, i did manage to take out several radars though before they got me:sweatdrop

No I just want to try and split one up and hard mount it to my bike, don't want to try it on an operating one until I've done it to one that already isn't working


sorry man.. still got to find mine...

Thanks AJ

I dont think trying to split it up to hard mount will work as its all surface mount tech to make it as compact as possible, if you try component damage will happen.

Are you going to put a fake radar detector on your bike just to piss the cops off? :whistle:

A little while ago I come across a few forums and articles from people that had split theirs up to go in their cars. One even broke one down with a diagram. Can't find it again though.

It would like kinda swish all integrated into the bike though.

Doesnt look too bad, just put the board somewhere safe and wire out things like the plugs and the volume control. Those things aren't too sensitive to soldering & the pins are usually big enough that you can use a normal soldering iron.

That's what I thought too, but I'd still rather practice on a previously damaged unit before I do it too the new one.

Just to re-hash an old post.

After having no luck with tracking down a damaged unit I brought a new V1, and then opened it up tonight.

There is no way I can see of easily splitting it up as I wanted to in the beginning, the radar and laser detection part are all within a metal housing inside the casing.

So now I need to find a good mounting system to fit my ZX6, the search begins.....
