I'm sure you can get a longer connector only goes on a couple of threads but when taped won't come off

The old two prong mark 1 was just the back off a TV aerial fitting,  any electrics place will sell them. If it's the longer cap that takes the two battery set up I think I've got one knocking about,  moved house last year so may be hard to find it

Not as hard as I thought,  that's the two battery cap

Just had a look at the aerials around the house, the modern version come as a sealed unit, the old versions use be self assembly jobbies. The old self assembly ones come apart and you just need the back short piece for the two prong collar,  they screw straight on.

We got some long ones made that held 4 batteries they would detect up to about 30 foot on a good day. Cutting edge technology back in the day

I knew if I hung on to it for 20 years it'd come in handy

I'm moving house (yet again) next week,  if you want it send an address mate or it's getting a viking burial this time.
