I have no complaints with this one...I bought the 1280 around 1990 and this is the first time it has sprung a leak. I started getting the erratic falsing yesterday while hunting a local lake. I figured the battery box flooded and the gasket would need replacing, but the box was high and dry. I then noticed the condensation inside my LED. Other than the faceplate, which appears tight, the only other place I figure it could leak is behind the control knobs. Has anyone ever re-sealed their 1280 after a leak? Has anyone sent such a problem to Fisher...how much and turn around time? I'll be calling them either way tomorrow. Thanks for any responses.
