[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 598550, member: 3960"] Our first machine wore out the swivels that control the position of the coil. It used to flop about so while out bush I cut down a Browns yogurt container and put a plastic bush in both joints. I also had problems with the audio plug and sent it back to Minelab to have that fixed. While it was there they replaced every worn part about the coil without being asked to do so. That detector has since been replaced twice because of the worn out shaft and swivel joints. One of them is so bad the coil will fall right out and has to be stuffed back into the joint. I've been too busy to bother fixing it. The other one has the shaft just slide in and out. I replaced the rubber wear pads at one point but that didn't last long so it's just taped up. One day I'll get a bit of time and take a look at them because the third one is getting a bit tired as well. They are a high maintenance machine if worked hard. [/QUOTE]
