repair

Good day all! Two years ago I bit the bullet and added an Nox 800 to my arsenal. I did (and still do) love my AT Pro but wanted to try something a little different. Long story short. I managed to get about thirty hours on the machine the first season. Last April my wife and I had a house...

I have a VMax pinpointer that needs the tip repaired. Should I use JB Weld, Marine Goop or Silicone? Or is there another type of epoxy that I should use? The tip is worn down. I don't have the money to buy a new pinpointer at this time.

I have not posted in quite some time but I've always kept up on the goings-on in FMDF as best I can. With that being said, I noticed a topic about detector repairs from 18mo ago but it refers to a broken link. My main question is, who out there does repairs on 'older' detectors? I have a...

I have a Compass Judge 2 detector that I got back in 1976. It has been in the closet for a long time. I loaned it to my grandson and it didn't work. I found a loose wire in it and while looking for where it went, I found another loose wire. I could see where that one went and put it back. Then I...

Hi guys, I just paid for a used DFX with which has some sort of a software issue (only problem as far as I know). Unit will probably not arrive for another week but is supposed to be in overall great condition based on the photos I saw. Any tips as far as factory resets etc? Also, If I need to...

I bought a used Tesroro many months ago and just got around to getting my first chance to use it. I turn it on and get the battery test tone but it keeps going on and on. It doesn't cut off after 6 seconds or so. It doesn't do that when the coil is not connected so I'll assume it has...

I just pulled out my old Garrett Groundhog again, put in new batteries and turned it on. Apparently there is something wrong with the speaker. The dial is working fine and batteries show full power. I can hear a clicking noise when I sweep the coil over metal...but no other sounds. All the...

I have an older Whites coinmaster 2d that recently stopped working. The battery indicator needle still moves up to indicate full charge but, no sound or needle movement when passed over a metal object. I paid 50. Bucks for it a year or two ago. Does White still repair these? Is it worth...

My Excal II was dying a slow death with a broken headphone wire that I could jiggle and get it to work most of the time. Then, it got really bad. Somehow, my baby developed some kind of short causing the threshold to run constantly wide open - unable to turn the volume down to the mosquito...

Just picked up a used M6 from eBay. Everything functions normally except there is almost zero sound from the speaker, and with headphones the volume is extremely low. I have tried different headphones and different batteries. I would rather avoid the hassle of returning it if it's a simple...
