[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 168891, member: 3111"] It seems my VLF just doesn't want to keep a signal anymore. Every time I use it on tr disc. the tone drops away within 3 seconds. Is this a capacitor issue? It seems the dual pot G.E.B knob is a bit out of date too. Also seems some problems with the battery terminals or contacts to the main board. Any help on how to do a general circuit board check with a detector? Ill just be checking for dry solders, connections or breaks, checking components for burn, and cleaning the board with alcohol. I'll spray the knobs with silicone when I go to jaycar next week. I have an oscilloscope if signal testing needs to be carried out. And considering to elimate the battery issue by soldering a new battery bank connector. [/QUOTE]
