Hitchinamerica24 24 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I recently purchased a gold bug m scope. It was working great for a couple of weeks then all the sudden the power switch took a crap on me. That nice click it gives when you turn the switch is gone and it just spins smoothly. I baught the detector from an elderly lady who has had it for a long time and hasn’t used it in a while either because of back issues. I’m just assuming my frequent use of it after it sitting for a while in who knows what type of storage condition that I may have just worn out a piece of plastic or something inside. Is this common? Is there a way I can fix it myself? because I am jonesing to go beeping. Or should I see if I can send it back to fisher? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Au Seeker 3,193 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 I think the best bet is to send it in, I would call Fisher first, they have a toll free Customer Service number and see if they still are able to repair it, e.g. have a switch that will work, or they maybe able to tell you how you can possibly repair it yourself. https://www.fisherlab.com/contact.htm Have a question regarding a Fisher Metal Detector – please fill out and submit the form below.
