[QUOTE="Guessologist, post: 454920, member: 11952"] I had an idea for a thread while having a swing the other day - my detector is more or less trashed but it can't be the worst out there, surely? I did a search of the forums and couldn't find any existing threads covering this, so show us what you've got! Here's the current state of my Go Find 40 - splinted with some pallet wood and liberal amounts of gaffer tape to reattach the broken-off arm cuff end. It's made it about 2x harder to swing with the extra weight. Gaffer tape holds on the velcro strap which you must use due to how shallow the arm cup is, and the control stalk no longer locks in so it's just flopping. The whole point of the Go Find is that it's lightweight and fully retracts - doesn't really do that any more! I could get some replacement parts but I think an upgrade is more sensible - the recovery speed is killing me and I would benefit from some more information about what's under the coil.
