    Re: bullseye 2 sucks

    Same story here, six month old Bullseye, and the switch took a dump! I tried the fix posted above, but being the ham-fisted oaf that I am, I managed to unsolder the original connection to the circuit board when I put the new switch in. I played around with that for a while, and finally got it connected and working again, but when I put it all back together it didn't work.

    I played around with it for a bit, getting it to work intermittently, and finally gave up! Stopped by the local hobby shop and got a new vibr-probe. They claim they've been pretty bullet proof for most people, and so far I like the way it works!

    Call White's. They've got probably the best customer service in the industry!

    Have had no problems whatsoever with my Bullseye II. Jeffro's right, White's has great customer service. What I would've done is sent it back to White's. BEFORE I took it apart.

    Re: bullseye 2 sucks

    I took 2 bullsyes back and they gave me a new one every time my switch went out.
    Finally when the 3rd went out I went to radio shack and got a micro switch and soldered it in and it worked great.

    I use a $15 buck little wizard now and am real happy with it. price wise and its a stronger pinpointer.

    The switch is a problem. However, I'm on my 3rd Bullseye, they send a new one everytime you return one.

    Re: bullseye 2 sucks

    Well my 140mm went out after 1 month! I have sent it in so we will see what is going to happen with it. I have a II that is messed up and I will send it in next, once I replace the 140mm probe. I hope since I had it only one month I don't have problems with it but I am waiting to find out what service is like. Between BB and myself we have had 4 and 3 or the 4 have had switch problems. Otherwise I love the prove and wish White's would replace the switch with a different version from the beginning.

    Re: bullseye 2 sucks

    They have since went with a new switch, but there are still the old style out there on the shelves. It's a bummer, but they are doing what they can.

    Re: bullseye 2 sucks

    UPDATE

    I sent my Bullseye 140mm probe in for repair last Friday. I received a replacment today! The support from Whites has proven to be excellent! Thank you Whites!

    I like the 140MM probe because it it sl longer than the II and the vibration feature is stronger, I think the light might be just a little brighter but I could be imagining that.

    Thanks again Whites!!!!!

    Re: bullseye 2 sucks

    The switch on my BEII is getting a bit iffy...

    It's a couple months old with quite a bit of hunt time on it though.

    I bought it second hand, but new in the box.

    I wonder if White's would stand behind it

    P.S. When it works, it works great!

    Send it in and it should cost you $6.95 for return shipping and handling. I used a place in Illinois.

    Re: bullseye 2 sucks

    Well my BE II crapped the bed in the middle of my day out hunting yesterday...

    I shot an email to the south east repair center.

    We'll see where it goes from here!
