ailing vaq

[cousin jack]

After reaching my most productive search area the vaq would only make a continuous single hum. The only variation was a different hum for disc mode and all metal. Unplugging the coil made no difference and replugging changed nothing. The battery was new. I bought it from Ron's Dixie metal detectors less than two years ago but didn't find the mail in warranty card again until today when I looked in the box it was mailed in. Am I sol? on the warranty ? Maybe it won't matter if a coil wire is the problem. Someone had to be following me around cause Homer Simpson is too much like me to be a coincidence!

I'd call the factory and tell them what it is doing. They will probably have you send it to them. If the detector isn't obviously abused or modified, you will most likely have your Vaquero back soon, working like new. Warranty card or no card, they pretty much stand by their detectors.

Yup!

Much as us loyal Tesoro brethren love them, they do fail, from time to time.

I have a DOA here, myself.

Send it in to the nice folks in Prescott and they'll fix it right up.

Perfect time to buy a Compadre for backup was last week!

does any one know what the company charges for super tuning your machine, because my vaq does'nt seem to be running right either now this is the first one i've had the tone does'nt seem to hit hard like the umax's ive got is this a common thing ? and when ground balancing i have to go beyond the minus plus to balance, i don't know maybe it's me, maybe someone can give me an idea if i'm doing something wrong.
