Hello,
I bought a Garrett Ace 300 about a week ago; of which, I'm very happy with for coin-shooting. I just ordered a Garrett pro-pointer II. A buddy loaned me an original pro-pointer and I did something to it that's caused it to become inoperable.
Here are my yelps for help.
1) I can't get the coil scuff plate to mount or snap onto the bottom of the coil. I tried to align both edges equally but it seems just too tight.
Am I a whimp and don't have the strength to squeeze it on ?
Should I heat the scuff plate to expand it slightly then quickly mount it ?
Suggestions ?
2) I'm afraid I fried my buddys original pro-pointer. aligned alkaline 9V battery female or minus terminal to the larger holes contact. Turning on the pointer and an LED flash and speaker squaak and that was it. Pulled the battery out and it was literally TOO HOT to handle !! I don't do electronics and don't even want to try to do a mother board exchange myself. Live in Lakewood, CA
Does Garrett service pointers?
if not, Do brick and mortar shops commonly do non-warrantee service?
Any help would be appreciated,
