After the leak repair, off for a trash throwdown. Oops, dropped atpro one too many times. No biggy, I'm off and running, although not pretty.

This seems to be holding up okay, I just gotta baby it. Someday I will take care of this in a better way.
 
Did you get ahold of Garrett? They have awesome customer service and would probably take care of you.
 
Holy crap, that's some repair. LOL!
 
Love it !!! You should send Garrett pics of you using that machine !! Lol. I love my at pro but seems like the guts are far better built than the skeleton!!
 
Glad it still works....
 
Have a feeling that it won't exactly be water proof anymore. :/

This machine is way out of warranty. I used the speaker cover screws for the straps. It wont leak.
 
Ouch!

What did you drop it off of?
 
I dropped it a million times. The last time I dropped it onto soft turf and the posts finally popped. But it's really all my fault, I have a pound of counterweights on the cuff end, and I have a custom brain box mount tube, so it's not the same as factory set up. But still, the plastic is not tough enough, and the design is not robust enough, in my opinion. But I love the frikkin thing and I will keep on using it until it craps out for good.
 
Great repair I prolly would of just duct taped mine to the shaft lol.
 
So how is that working out for you so far? As you know mine did the same 2 days ago

I spent three hours doing a trash throwdown today, dug about a million targets without any problems at all. I am working on a better "fix" for this I just have to think about it a bit more.
 
Well at least the fix is working for you! :)
