through can be retapped it would make a much cleaner install than drilling a
different hole in the top.

I don't know whether this will work with all 700s, but on my Victoreen the hole
for the fairly useless headphone jack was perfect for a BNC. It looks as though
the BNC was made to be there. I drilled a small hole just above the embossed
PHONE label and installed a mini headphone jack, swapped out the headphone
connector, and it was done. I used a piece of the original probe cable to extend
from the board to the new jack location.

I've seen pictures of other 700s with a similar modification, so I suspect it
would work with other models as well. Might be worth a look before investing in
the tap and die set. . .
