I had posted a couple monts back that my 1280 sprung a leak into the electronics. Just want to thank Fisher's for a quick and effective re-seal. They got the machine back to me in 3 1/2 weeks. I was worried that the repair might cause some loss in depth, sensitivity and noise problems, etc. It runs smooth and I think it might even go a little deeper judging by air tests.
I sunk it in a pale of water for three days waiting to dip it in the lake. No leaks, runs great and detects deep. The bill was 130 bucks and I am very satisfied with their service. Someone had mentioned they has sent their 1280 to a repair center/ dealer and they weretold it was not fixable or wasn't worth the price to repair it. They might want to get another detector dealer...Fisher told me that the main factory is the only authorized repair center for water machines. Good hunting to all and thanks Fishers for both the great water machine and excellent and affordable service!
