    Here's my latest mod.. :biggrin:

    Since someone sent me an extra CF19 shoulder strap,:hi2: I NEEDED to find a use for it. I also had an extra hand strap for a CF19.

    I put them on my CF30K.....I had to mount them backwards from the way they fit on a CF19. No drilling, just screw them on using the CF30 screws.

    I am considering completely removing the hard handle on the CF30....Not sure yet..Where would I put the stylus? Do I need a stylus?..... :confused:

    A CF19 will have more velocity.

    Some years ago I had a CF-18 with original Panasonic shoulder strap. I had to jump into a small plane and lost the TB. The hook at the end of the strip opened itself cause the velocity trough my jump. The TB survived with a scratch on the case :)
    Only to keep this in mind, if use a strap from a half the weight tablet on a heavier machine.

    He just wants to sell the handle to some CF-29 driver who needs a place to store his stylus.
