I have a couple of mods, which add around 2 inches depth to the SSP, they cost pennies to add and I'll hapily do them FREE OF CHARGE. I'm no longer repairing detectors for profit, I do it for fun (I can afford to as I make my money in a far more lucrative market now).

"Contaminated" board is a "standard" Tesoro fault (or so it would seem). That is NOT to detract from Dave's excellent capability, but I have repaired many machines he couldn't and vice versa no doubt, indeed (IMHO) there is no better repair service (paid for) ANYWHERE in europe than Pentechnic!!

Be VERY careful of what you clean the board with, you could end up making it worse. BEFORE you do that though, have you tried a difrerent search head?

it came back from daves the black and red wire which connects from the bourd to the battery terminals i spoke to him today and he said the black wire goes next to speaker wires and the red one goes to the corner of the bourd which i have done and it still doesnt work i cleaned the bourd with apl rubbing alcohol i dont know if it me or him can you advice or would you buy any chance have a mod bourd i could purchase and you can have the old bourd with pots many thanks

[wendy21]

is it possible you could tell me the wires from the sensitivity pot are in the right place i do not think soand would you know where the red battery wire goes

Hi Sean, what you mean with this "contaminated" board - what sort of fault?
