[QUOTE="grubstake, post: 668872, member: 4012"] Hi, John - welcome to PA. From my understanding, the component most likely to deteriorate from old age in an electrical circuit, is the electrolytic capacitors. A technician familiar with thru-soldered circuit boards should be able to identify the issue relatively easily, but whether substitute components are readily available is another matter. The resale value of this detector would likely be around $150 at best, so repair may be unviable. There's some previous discussion of this model here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/threads/goldseekers-15000-metal-detector.34256/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
