Hi !
Long ago, I swung a "lunchbox" Classic III, which I traded in to help me buy my first XLT. Although I never regretted buying the XLT (one of only two detectors that helped me improve my MD skills), I always missed the III.
A few weeks ago, I crossed the path of someone who whished to sell his Classic III SL, with rain cover. I jumped on the occasion and bought it.
I like the whole concept : long battery life, fantastic disc and I found me using it like in the older days, that is sens as high as possible and dic out nails only.
Everithing's fine but for one thing : there is sand INSIDE the control box !!
I suspect it to have come through the speaker, as the box seems to be well sealed.
It's not a drama, though, but it becomes an obsession. I HAVE to remove it. You know what it is...being maniac about gear..;
The warranty is long forgotten, so I thought I'd open it, remove the sand, and eventually using a decal on the speaker to avoid further sanding.
I suppose opening the control box is safe, but not sure . I opened my two XLT's to fix some connector problems, but there were no knobs.
So I'm just seeking the confirmation I can do this. I suppose I can, but I don't want to ruin this babe : have been wanting to swing it for a long time !
Many thanks in advance !
