Freedom 1 question

[Curt_in_W.Mass]

Hello..my neighbor has a Freedom one detector thats been sitting for years.He lent it out and when he got it back says it didnt work,I took a look and speaker only makes slight noises but with headphones I can seem to here signal fine...were these speakers a problem on these model or possibly something not letting speaker work..appreciate any help.

How's the batteries, are the terminals clean, and are they making good contact ?

Tested batteries,all over 8.5 volts..terminals all clean,machine is in actually in real nice condition..i can hear the 3 beep startup signal indicating a good battery signal with headphones on only though.

I had one years back=did same thing- as best I remember was loose or corroded contact in the headphone jack, can't remember for sure, but was an easy fix, mine had been setting around a long time too, just look all the contacts over real good= HH, Bugar

Yeah you can clean some of them with a pencil eraser.
