My Sovereign XL is fading away and they no longer offer parts nor service for it.
Rats. Fine, fine beach machine.
A buddy of mine lives 6 hours away and he owned a Sovereign Elite and had. Briefly discussed selling it a year ago. I asked again and he said yes. He shipped it and it arrived yesterday.
I opened the box and was a bit shocked. My older machine looked newer than his but no problem. I figured between the 2 I could make a working Frankendetector. It won’t be pretty (butt ugly will be quite accurate) but it should still do a great job on the beaches.
My problem is his coil is better than mine BUT all of the protective sheath around the coil wires is literally falling apart. At first I thought it was only a small strip and a liberal coating of liquid electrical tape was applied. But quickly I saw I have a pinky in the hole in the dike and leaks are sprouting everywhere.
Other than buying a new coil or buying a case of electrical tape, are there any options?
