    Meter trouble with vintage White's 6000/di series 3

    The rotary switch has one pole that controls the mode selection and another pole that controls the meter. So, yes, it's not only possible but likely that one will fail while the other still works.

    Meter trouble with vintage White's 6000/di series 3

    The problem is the mode switch. It's a big 4-pole rotary/slide switch that eventually wears out, exactly as you are experiencing. Unfortunately it is long ago obsolete and there are no replacements and nothing remotely similar. It is one of the reasons White's ceased making the XL-Pro around...

    I have a v3i question

    9.5V is getting close to the cut-off point. What is the voltage reading on the new batteries?

    pi pinpointers

    Any pinpointer can crosstalk with any detector, it all depends on the precise frequencies they are running which vary slightly, unit-to-unit, so it's a statistical thing. The F-Pulse includes a frequency offset selection just in case.

    pi pinpointers

    I'm biased but I think it's really good. The very first production units had some problems but that got ironed out. As Yogi Berra would say, "it's got deep depth." The only pinpointer that I think is better is the White's TRX, but I'm biased with that one, too.

    TinyTec Deluxe pinpointer diagram

    The TinyTec was a modified stud finder. It's possible the guy who made them didn't have a schematic.

    Part for V3i / XLT/ DFX ( Pictures)

    Centerville should have it, if not it's a Switchcraft SL105M. I tend to doubt this is your problem.

    Spectra V3i reverse polarity cookout

    D9 is a 20V zener diode, MMSZ5250B. It's a poor reverse battery protection because once it blows, there is no more protection. With D9 removed, if you hook up the battery correctly and it still won't power up then something else also blew. Look closely at U1, U4, U5, U7, U24, and U30.

    Can a detector be supercharged???

    In mild ground you may be able to boost the TX drive and get 1/2" more depth. But in mineralized ground this will likely overload the preamp.

    Hello I Have A F75 Question

    It's lighter than the stock coil and absolutely glides through water, if you hunt in water.

    Question re Fisher 1265-X batteries / voltage / wiring

    His 1265 wasn't modded. The previous owner just used 9V batteries instead of the AA holders.

    Where Are The New Fisher Models ?

    I wish the same thing, but I don't make the decisions.

    Where Are The New Fisher Models ?

    The day we phase out hobby detectors is probably the day we lock the doors for good. Metal detectors pay the bills here, and FTP currently owns the low-end market. That's just not what most of the folks on these forums are looking for.

    Question re Fisher 1265-X batteries / voltage / wiring

    I found a battery cover in my stock of Fisher parts. It's NOS but the foam battery cushions will need replacing (easy-peasy). PM me your address and I'll mail it to you.
