Recently acquired an Anolog Tesoro Silver Sabre U max in working condition and am wondering if it is possible to wire a switched circuit from speaker leads to run a small vibration motor to handgrip and led light so machine could be used as normal or in a true silent mode without damaging any components or circuits?

Have a general idea of DC circuits and experience soldering, though no experience whatsoever modifying a metal detector..
Any help is very much appreciated!🙂
Pics are just for attention and about as far as i have got into the project other than removing the old tomato soup splatter stains..

NOTE: Forum GENERAL DISCUSSION contains a wide variety of topics, including, treasure hunting, metal detecting, prospecting, relic hunting - even antique hunting. A great place to meet other treasure hunters!

Thank You!:icon_thumleft:
 

After a few attempts think I have an LED circuit that works.. Is a signal wire in headphone cord i could use to trigger an externally powered vibration motor circuit also.. though could not find any helpful info online with regards to going about..
Hope pics and vid may help anyone else attempting a similar idea out.
One AC stereo headphone cord with 1/4'' jack.
One keychain flashlight end with three 5mm white LED's.
One LED bicycle tail light mount.

Picked up the detector for free, spent $15 dollars on a set of vintage stereo heaphones for parts and found the keychain light while out detecting. Red lens for light is from an automotive fuse or indicator dash panel light.
