Coil trouble is there a fix?

[Truth]

** Not under warranty **

My 5x8” coil for my ATP/ATM was overly tight when put on and I guess it stretched the cored a bit from the coil and it works and does work at times. Garrett said they don’t repair coils and if within warranty will replace them. I’ve tried electrical tape and doesn’t do the trick. Any of detecting tip I should try?

If it's under warranty, I'd just get a new one. Anything you do to fix it might void the warranty.

Not under warranty. They said if it’s not under warranty you just have to buy a new one.

In that case (not sure why you didn't mention that in the first place) you'd have to dig into that connection, repair the wire, then epoxy it back over. Not an easy thing to do at that spot on the coil. If you have no other coil, I'd go ahead and order a replacement while you play with this one. Always good to have a back up coil of some sort.

I assumed when I said “within warranty they would replace it” and I wasn’t doing that, that it wasn’t under warranty. My bad. I just did some research and I bought it within 18 months and it’s covered for 24 months, so I’m sending it tomorrow. Thank you for the input cudamark

The 8 x 11 is the stock coil that comes with the AT PRO. It's a little heavier but it will hold you over until your 5 x 8 is replaced.
One thing I must say about Garrett, they really have an excellent an excellent after sales service center.
Good luck Truth

Thanks you are correct about Garrett. And guess what atw it’s working! I’ll be at my 1801 1/2 Reales spot tomorrow. Never used it there yet. Lots of canslaw in that clay, but I have to pick it fast before the house gets started and it won’t be long. They already brought in the orange dirt for the foundation. Ugggh
