That was my bad for going cheap and overlooking some details.
I made it work however. There was a metal sleeve over the sensor that can be removed so I did that so it would fit in the svx. Also the mounting hole doesn't line up, so I had to drill that some to make it work. Also shave off some plastic to get the mounting hole to line up. Was a success in the end. Worth it to not buy a new svx one.
Was the sensor black or brown?
