The large coil (12x9?) coil that came with my ACE250 is not working properly anymore. I was able to trace the fault down to where the cable goes down into the coil. When it's connected to the unit, and then powered up, the unit will start creating a racket of pings and pongs and the indicators go up and down in an uncoordinated manner, basically it's busted. If I press the cable hard over to one side and hold it still, the mayhem stops, but as soon as the cable starts to unbend it all starts up again.
this started to happen after I had removed the coil from the unit to install the sniper coil. I went to change coils and this happened.. less than 10 hours on the coil..
(A) is it worth the effort to go through Garret to see if they will replace a busted coil?
(B) If answer A is no, then what is a good replacement coil to compliment the sniper coil that i had recently bought.. As superb as it is, I would still like another coil capable of sweeping a larger area than what the sniper is capable of doing. No use buying another same large coil to see it fail like the first one..
Thoughts of ideas?
Thanks in advance.. Spring is coming to our area soon.. might see 40'F sometime soon.. would love to get out there again..
