Hi guys - love the ATX as you all know and Garrett have been awesome with the warranty. My machine however is now approaching the warranty end - and, after two
Years of use the stock DD coil gave up the ghost.....
It was falsing,erratic and unusable!
Anyway - rather than tossing the coil, thought I would investigate the fault.
1st up - removed and checked the coil connector (not as easy job as it is glued on) - this area was eliminated.
Step 2: drilled out the lower coil shaft and removed
Step 3: source of the issue found = broken cable insulation at the pivot point
Step 4: removed coil cable
Step 5: "borrowed" a bread board from the kitchen
Step 6: epoxy and a minelab excal shaft.....
More photos to come!
