Issue solved. Thanks to Geotech's advice on another forum, the black and grey wires were swapped around and all works well now and most definitely a considerable improvement.

The technician soldered the cable to the toggle switch for conductivity and added the connector. I made a hole in a different position than previously mentioned due to space and mounted it. It works great and a plus, if accidently knocked by winter clothing, its stays put due to the mechanism...
Great advice, thank you. I have already done some practices and am awaiting a different drill bit to also experiment with.
I collected the assembled switch to wires to connector today and discussed with the technician swapping out the threshold and ground balance pots to 10 turn ones in near...
Well thanks so much for that. Sometimes we don't see the wood for the trees. I had taken the box off the handle mount the other day, but still I had not noticed the location you have indicated. Lo and behold, on the BeachHunter has the same location I would guess for such a purpose.
The switch...
grubstake, I'm glad I didn't try to add pictures and thank you for the info'.
XLOOX, I have somewhere a piece of clear plastic that came off a child's pushchair. The idea that everything needs covering makes a lot of sense. I will put my thinking cap on.

I have bought a cover for my Whites TDI SL and described thus:
"Whites TDI SL control box cover
PLEASE STATE PREFERRED COLOUR/FABRIC CHOICE WHEN ORDERING
Helps protect your detector from damage/rain/mud etc
Available in
Black Neoprene
Camo Neoprene"
If I had looked at the pictures (I think there...

Well I plucked up the courage to open the box but was unable to unscrew the outside nut to dismount it for a clearer view.
I did manage to take one clear picture of one side, but failed on the other.
I will add both though. I have phoned RS Online in UK and described the stamps but that didn't...
The schematic is probably not available and I doubt Garretts would provide a copy as they now own the right to it.
I have not found the opening description and pictures.
I have no confidence in taking things like detectors apart. Once I get the bits, I will be paying someone to solder the 3...
Thank you both, I am a step nearer as I have now learnt the differences in the two types of switches.
I own the SL so I am accustomed to the switch's use. I will look again at the site to see if I can determine which one may be suitable; but if anyone can suggest a suuitable one I would be...
I have read this and wish to add a conductivity switch to my TDI BeachHunter.
I have identified the cables with crimps 820-1393 and plug 752-1737 on https://uk.rs-online.com but I am unsure as to which switch I should order.
I see (On) Off (On) and On Off On which has added to my confusion and...
