the problem is that I can't find the problem, it takes me every so often to check the motherboard but it all seems fine. The impedance between TXA and TXB and RXA and RXB seems ok, there are no traces or marks of water in the tracks, the tracks all look okay, I can hear the threshold sound very well and I can adjust the intensity with the relative pot (knob) but when I set over the coil a piece of aluminum, it does not detect it,
Honestly, I'm in a closed alley and I don't know how to proceed. Maybe there was dampness or damaged slopes, but this is not the case.
I don't think is a coil problem,
I don't think is a water or humidity, metal detector inside I found it very dry
I don't think now is xtal cause if was xtal maybe I say maybe I could not hear the threshold sound
battery is out of the question cause I use only power supply with 13/14volt
I don't think are traces, nobody could damage them, they are in good shape and all are inside the Excalibur casing
I don't think are pots, I changed one, I replaced one with another taken from the sensivity, I don't remember but I also I tried to shorten the external terminals as if it were at its maximum value
I need good advice from someone who is really expert, a push to get to the solution
PS: I have a tester and a little oscilloscope, I need to know where to put the tips and what to test and what to check again.
I discovered that touching the boad near the volume pot, It changes the volume of the threshold but is like when I touch an input of an home amplifier but I don't hear the tipical sound of detection.
THANKS
