Compass x100 components - help needed.

[Doctorcoinz]

Can anyone advise me if the tuning capacitors are available for this model , i have a faulty x100 that has an annoying threshold buzz that cannot be turned down. A dealer told me a couple of "special" capcitors may be the cause but are unavailable now sen as compass have gone now. Any advice here is welcome.

A slight tweek on the circuit board cleared the problem and my x100 works a treat so no components needed , thats good news. This detector has 2 circuit boards. Both circuit boards are coated in a thick protective waxy resin of some sort. First i carefully scraped the wax off the presets and marked the setting's with a slight scratch mark viewed under a strong magnifier so that the setting can set back accurately this is really important otherwise the detector could be ruined by bad adjustment, a slight tweek of a preset brought the threshold down to a normal level , testing the detector carefully out side all functions are ok now.
