Master Hunter 7X, same problem, no sound

Hey guys, I just joined the forum. Awesome. I like forums like this. I recently fixed my washer by using a forum with a good tech member. Saved me probably $200. Sweet.

I've got an old 1990 Master Hunter 7X Crossfire by Garrett. Same problem - NO SOUND! It worked fine the last time I used it 2 years ago. Put 6 fresh new batteries in too.

I called Garrett and they would NOT give me the schematic to my unit! Told me to call back tomorrow when a tech named Ed Renner (SP?) was in.

I see Conan fixed his ADS (a little older than mine I think?) and it was the MC14011 IC circuit. Mine has a "14011B X933" 14 point circuit. I'm GUESSING that's the same/similar one? Please note: I have done NO testing and wouldn't even know how or where to start! Electronics moron here - but with potential! I see Big Daddy has a "IC 4011" but I don't know if that's the correct cross-referenced part. http://bigdaddy-enterprises.com/index.htm They have no contacts that I see. My next problem even if I get the part is replacing it. What am I getting into? Think I'd better get someone to do that for me.

P.S. - I noticed that my same model sold at a goodwill auction for $213 recently in 2011. Can't believe it went for that much. That's almost what i paid over 20 years ago. Is this thing a collector's item now??

Best to start a New Thread on this.

Things don't get all mixed up.

There are other test you should do before Pulling IC's.

I would start with the battery compartment.

Start a New Thread!

About coil to arm connector

maybe you need to ask Sven... seems he is knew them well...

Thanks for the manual! one important question I missed before is about what can I use to attach coil to arm as the detector I bough at a garage sale has no screw there. Can I use an ordinary metal screw? Or does it need to be plastic or aluminium? Can be loose? Hope you can help here too

GARRETT COIL MOUNT TO SHAFT

Hello once again Alexcheve
If you can get a nylon bolt all the better,but original ones are made
of metal anyway.Since they are placed in the neutral detecting part
of the coil,the center.Regarding how tight,just enough to hold the coil
at a comfortable angle for you to detect.Hand tight but not loose.
Get a metal bolt with a small butterfly nut on it.So you can hand tighten
when you need to.But never overtightened.They are easily available from
Garretts spare parts or any hardware store.Just take the coil with you
to try the different sizes to get the diameter right,so it's not loose.
Hope this helps

[Alexcheve]

what a relief!

Thanks for the info, I will go buy it right away

[dguy]

Alex, by looking at your pic, your detector isn't the same as mine.

turn on the switch, and disconnect the coil and connect immediately...
