Fisher F70 LCD repair

[RH-Lightning]

Hi guys!

I have a Fisher F70 with a broken screen, detector is barely used and I'd love to repair it.

But Fisherlab info email will probably take a while to respond...

Do they even ship parts separately? I'm from EU and shipping the detector back and forth will cost a fortune.
Maybe someone has a dead unit to salvage the LCD from?

BR,
M.

was browsing the interwebs for parts and found this listing:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/13442621626...wAAOSwaTNj0sW7

looks like a scam, but the ebay shop seems legit.. price is crazy..

It's legit, it's actually the FTP factory selling them direct. The F70 is supposed to be obsoleted so I suspect they had some parts left over they wanted to use up. It's an outstanding bargain, I'm tempted to buy one and I work for the company!

FL sent me to local reseller and they could offer only LCD+main board and the price is unknown..

Regarding the bargain, I wouldn’t think twice if I were in the US.. but the shipping, VAT and customs tax really add up to the price..
it really is a great detector.

Short update if anyone interested.
LCDs don’t come separately, only with controlboard for 140€.

when there is new detector with two coils for 250$, the amount of 140€ for parts is a little too much.
