OK Beep beep beep bottle cap steel so i go to the lowest of low settings 1 bar you all know the very last bar to the left on the ace 250 same thing Beep beep beep , by this time I said The heck with it called the factory they said the same thing it needs service and its out of warranty
O well so I sent it back today for servicing I hope it will not cost to much to calibrate but any who I have my Whites Classic Sl 3 but 6 battries Wow.

It shouldn't cost that much. I just had the mineralization chip added to my 2500 and the new proformance coil and it came to 143.00.

yes when I called I do believe she said $ 40 for the calibration and if i needed a coil it would be about $ 53 so about $ 100.00 maybe not sure they have to look at it first
Thanks so much

how does yours work?
any better after the factory service

My buddy Rodeo Recon had to send his Ace 250 back to the factory after only 2 months. It needed a new searchcoil. Thing was going crazy, like the sensitivity was way up all the time, even when it wasn't--and even on brand new batteries.


Fortunately his was under warranty.

I don't know as it has not come back yet. I should be getting it today or tomorrow. I will let you know then. They told me that it could have been my coil of course my machine was built in 1999 so I wouldn't be surprised. Rather than just wait, I asked them to do the upgrade and that way I would basically have a brand new machine.

so I cee you sent it out recently Thanks I hope they do a good job on mine

Well I got it back. It seems to be better. I just went out to my front yard and scanned because I know there isn't much there. They gave me new bottom polls and a new nut and bolt and rubber washers too. That surprised me. It was nice.
I will test it better this weekend and let you know.
