    Brought a 1980's JW Fisher Pulse 8 back to life!!

    Well I purchased this detector from Craigslist a while back and it wouldn't hold a charge. I took the detector to Batteries Plus and removed the old rechargeable pack from it to find that all 7 cells were badly corroded and 2 wires had split (Guess that's why it didn't work lol). Well they were...
