Any PC 7424xp cord mod?

[Gussi41]

I've seen cord mods for Rupes, Harbor Freight, and Flex.

I own a PC and wanted to know if there's anything out there for this polisher.

Really just look at the tutorials out there and do the same thing to your PC, there's probably no difference. I would not be surprised if it was very very very similar to one of those machines.

Thanks for the reply. I opened the PC and it's completely different.

I noticed that the black wire is grouped with other wires in a quick connect housing, three total, and the white wire terminates in the variable-speed dial housing.

In each case I'm not sure if I should/could pull it out and even if I could, being that it's 18 gauge, would the 16 gauge wire fit in.

My first thought is to leave both wires terminated and splice my new connection, similar to the Rupes LHR15ES Mod, but I'd prefer using crimp-on butt connectors.

Anyone see any issues in doing that? If so, any better ideas or advice.

I didn't know the xp was any different then the original 7424... I have it on order, and just went out and bought a 25' 14g extension to wire it up.
Can you take a photo of what we're looking at?

WOW, that is much different then I thought it would be... thanks for the pics.
Really, by just looking at that, I don't see any other way then to cut/soldier together the new wire. Snip th black and whites, and soldier the new 25' extension cable to them... cover it up with shrink tube.
There's no way i'm going to mess around with that white box!

Splice in, solder, heat shrink, done. Haha.

Not anything different compared to any other machine. Two power wires as expected, :P
