Just got an older bandido 2, (same shape box as the lobo), so the model before the umax boxes. Seems that it hasn't been used in ages. Put new batteries in and it almost seemed like the thing had to come out of a coma; initially the disc was erratic, but after a few minutes of fiddling with all the knobs it came alive and it now seems to work. Airtest is about what i expect from this oldtimer.
Now the funny thing that remains; Have a Tejon, Lobo and an older, same era Silver Sabre 2, and none of them chatter when working the disc level knob up or down. Is this more or less normal, or is something wrong? disc level otherwise works fine throughout the range, it just chatters when actually working the knob, coil off the ground.
Also, i know how to power balance / power tune the tejon, and i know the ground balance carries over from all metal to disc on the bandido 2. But should the bandidio react the same way as the Tejon? I noticed that it's almost impossible to power balance the bandido while in disc since the detector does not communicate the way a Tejon does when you too positive or negative while in disc mode.
Any input = greatly appreciated
