I have a broken dx1 probe and I would like to modify it so that I can use it as a hand held probe. Had anyone done this? Any tips to get it done?

Interesting project. Keep in mind that the probe is simply a very small coil with an AB switch. It contains no electronics or means to power it. Keep us updated on your progress. Where there is a will there is a way.

I agree with Cybersage.
"roken may be something as easily repaired as a bad AB switch or a broken wire. If it were me, I'd contact Sunray about sending it in for a checkup.
Sunray is a pretty good outfit and may be able to put you back up and running for a relatively small charge.
I have three DX-1's and love 'em.
I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.
They sure will not fix this one. If is tore apart.
