Hello everybody!
Couple of days ago a friend gave me a Minelab Explorer SE that he bought on a flee market..The detector is "booting" normally but it has a lot of erratic sounds,i must admit i have zero experience at Minelab's...
Taking a closer look found the cables on the coil side broken and with duct tape...Searching the web i found the original "spiral cable" that connects the coin to the detector...little pricey..
I took measurements of the coil resistance and one coil windings had 2 different values.One coil 6.3 Ohms and other coil 1.8 Ohms should it be that way?
I took RG171 and soldered 2 separate wires for the two separate coils. Wired and soldered as it was.
When i open the cover to check the connector for continuity i saw a transistor (Q504) on the power supply board near the speaker connector that has been replaced..The one on the detector now id the BC337,is this the right one?
