fisher customer service for cz6 ruined my detector depth :(

juit · May 6, 2017

detector depth went south

Call them great response from techs, gonna do some tests with a new coil, gather all the info i can to send it to them with the detector

MACHINE ARE MADE FOR DIRT TESTING NOT AIR TESTING - NONE OF THE 12 MACHINES I HAVE ...HAVE EVER HAD ANY DEPTH ON AIR TESTING - USUALLY HALF AS SENSITIVE
MY FISHERS PICK UP RINGS AND COINS AT 2 FT IN ALL METAL - IVE GOTTEN MINIE BALLS AT 2 FT ALSO
FELIX IS THE BEST OUT THERE - IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM - CALL HIM BACK - HE WILL DO YOU RIGHT

Firs bro caps off

, i test it out at the park i only could got targets less than 4-6 inches no more, targets id at 8 inches were on 4 inches depth, same coil same box it was pulling coins at 11 inches or more, this units dont overload at 4 inches with a coin it was a paint to mark me quaters over loaded at that depth and trying to pinpoint them, the thing is that i told felix like 10 times that this unit was my precious

It's the weekend. On Monday call Fisher and calmly explain your problem. They might want you tonsend them a link to the video.

Is that your old coil orvdid you get a new one from them?

juit · May 7, 2017

round, they told me to buy one but mine was working just fine very very nice, ive benn told that they ask everybody to get a new coil

Rick K · May 7, 2017

Told by who exactly? - you seem to be pretty free with the "I heard that....."

Call Monday. And by the way, you already said that your old coil was suspect, maybe it is in fact defective.

Be calm, give folks a chance to help you and lay off the suspicion and accusation and your path will be smoother.

Just a suggestion of course.

and just curious, how much did they charge to fix your meter, replace your broken component and calibrate the detector, and of course ship it back at their expense?

juit · May 7, 2017

Previous owner, i dont doubt his word, he warned me before sending my unit to fisher, 129

Rick K · May 7, 2017

Hope this previous owner didn't charge you much for this detector with a dodgy coil, broken meter and bad control knob. How much did Fisher charge you for the repair?

juit · May 7, 2017

Responded last msg, no he didnt the coil was working great before shipping

Rick K · May 7, 2017

Sorry if I missed it in an earlier respomse, but I went back and checked... how much did Fisher charge you for meter repair, control replacement, calibration of the control unit (i'm not clear if you sent your coil in) and shipping?

as I recall, your earlier issue was about how bad it was of them to refuse to give you a repair estimate for a detector with several disclosed problems - sight unseen. This for a detector which might be as much as 25 years old. Try getting your 25 year old TV fixed.

seriously man, calm down, let the folks in El Paso sort this out - no need to assume bad faith or incompetence.

It's Sunday, be at peace, call Monday and talk it over.

juit · May 7, 2017

Im sad man, not mad, i really like purchase things from teknetics but i wasnt wrong about having doubts about sending my unit to fix, i edited that thread because i didnt want to go the other way

CASPER-2 · May 11, 2017

NO - CAPS ARE ON - IM NOT YELLING - I WORK AT A FEDERAL BUILDING AND EVERY THING IS DONE IN CAPS FOR MY JOB - (WHEN I USE CAPS - IM AT WORK - WHEN I DONT - IM AT HOME)
DID YOU CALL FELIX BACK YET? - IVE KNOWN HIM FOR LIKE 15 YRS AND HE HAS ALWAYS TRIED TO CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS
OR MISTAKES - IVE SENT A LOT OF PEOPLE TO HIM AND ALL HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT GOOD RELATIONS WITH HIM
SORRY THAT YOU HAD A BAD ONE - SO FAR

YES COINS AND RINGS AT 2 FT - USING CZ21s IN ALL METAL SENSITIVITY CRANKED AND SWINGING SLOW
PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN THEIR MACHINES TO THEIR MAX - USUALLY SLOWING DOWN WILL GIVE YOU MORE DEPTH
USING DISCRIMINATION - YOU WILL LOSE DEPTH
