I myself would never purchase a car that i could not work on, thus i would not purchase a detector that i could not work on, i did very early on buy a 7000 for curiosity value but i was not impressed with the deep gold performance compared to the GP and GPX series, thus these are the detectors i use, also had a 2300 and in my opinion its a bird shot detector. Glad you had a good experience with ML.

Information regarding methylene chloride / dichloromethane, and products containing it:
As these products are very hard to get, and are usually sold in large 5 litre / 25 litre quantities, tracking down a supplier is a challenge.
With some sleuthing work, I have found a small number of sellers on eBay UK actually listing paint stripper with high ( 85% ) DCM content, just like strippers that existed before the EU ban.
The trick is to know what to search for ... a few searches that led me in the right direction:
2k paint stripper ( this is 'two-pack' epoxy paint , so needs strong stripper )
Professional paint stripper
Traditional paint stripper
You will get 'hits' from legal products - disregard any that claim water-soluble, eco friendly, dichloromethane-free etc , they are not what you need.
I found one supplier that re-packages DCM stripper in anonymous 'own brand' 1 litre bottles, but they say in the listing what the original product is.
And another lists a brand name product, but carefully omits any details about its contents. If you can identify what the product is, the manufacturers website with tell you the chemical composition details, usually a pdf datasheet.
The two products I found were:
Steyer paint stripper:
https://steyer.co.uk/product/heavy-d...-stripper-gel/
and Langlow Strip Away Pro:
https://palacechemicals.co.uk/shop/p...away-pro-copy/
So if you search wisely, you may find DCM products 'hidden in plain sight' .
( I'm not linking to the eBay listings ... they will be rapidly out of date, for one thing )
