irving
I aquired an xs from a friend of mine, and the plastic shaft latch(under the control box) had cracked, making the entire shaft loose. We put a bead of J-B Weld around the metal shaft, where it joins into the plastic part. It is now sturdy. I was hunting the other day on a farm that had some dogs. I noticed that every time I got a reading, the dogs would come charging. I thought that was odd. Then I realized that, the small headphone jack was loose, and the speaker was working along with my headphones. I have one of those stand-1/4" converters(an accessory) for the older machines. I have e-mailed Minelab, and got no response. Do any of you know if they would re-do my machine, and fix it like new? The electronics work fine, and this machine has found some PHENOMINAL FINDS!! I'm wondering if the JB Weld could be easily removed for a fix at the factory. My main concern is the jack. I put a drop of super glue on the jack, and it may last a while, but I want my machine in top order. Thanks for any help......Rv
