I dont think that you can combine all 3. The ser-001 basically takes the
spot where John set his audio jack. You may be able to find another spot in
the newt to install the jack but I am not sure as it has been along time
since I took one of my newts apart. The bulge that John is talking about
from my memory is from the jack and him not soldering it real well. I think
he had to much solder on the jack and that was making it stick up a tad more
than he had planned. We were going to fix it one night but we never got
around to it. I think he really just needed to borrow my solder gun to make
the solder connections smaller as I think he has a bigger solder tip than
mine. You may also be able to try different audio jacks to see if you can
find a smaller size. Hope this helps some I am sure if/when John sees this
he will respond and tell you more than I know about his hack.
