FISHER LABS AND FIRST TEXAS

[nomad 11]

so i heard a few years ago first texas bought out fisher labs.so do they still run operations out of the fisher plant?or did they combine operations?was fisher still in los banos,cal ?what i'm wondering is?i bought a cz20 for water detecting and left it sit for 2 years.then in the fall before winter i went to take the batteries out before they caused corrosion damage and i noticed that there was a melt mark on the mating surface of the battery compartment.so it isnt going to be watertight and i figured out too late thats why the guy sold it.so i'm wondering before i go throught he hassle of sending it in.is it possible to email them a picture of the damage and they can give me a verdict that way.i've heard of other stories on here people dont have much luck with emailing them.then why have an email address at all?any advice?thanks-

Fisher machines (1265, 1270, F-75) have been my primary machines for the past 25 years (though I've been hunting since 1966). Most Fisher owners that I know just call Fisher/First Texas on the phone when they need to send a machine in for service. I believe that the man you ask for is "Felix". Folks have had good results after speaking with him.
Hope this helps, Geologyjohn

Don't believe everything you hear.

I've never mentioned this here before but I sell detectors, (many hundreds of them) and in 6+ years I've only had to call / email them 2 or 3 times on others behalf, of those few times I've always got a responce in a VERY timely fashion. Any problem was always handled likewise, in a VERY timely fashion.

Trouble is some people think "they" are the only customer a company has.
Example. I've seen this, (paraphrased) "I emailed them 5 times this afternoon, and got no reply"

This is fact, it's a long ways to ship from here to texas, one returned unit, was back in customers hands in two weeks. One other fellow had a new replacement shipped out to him BEFORE he had even returned his. I ask how could service get any better than that ?

Nomad, they are now in El Paso. They generally convert the CZ20s to CZ21s, the old housings had a strong tendency to leak.

Call them and they can get you going.
