Depends on what's wrong with it. About the only one who repairs dead-company detectors is Keith Wills in Texas (brokendetectors.com). While a decent guy, he is famous for extremely long repair times, sometimes 2 yrs or more.

There is a fellow in Ontario named Sven.. Although he does not actually work at a repair facility, there is practically nothing he does not know about Tesoros.. And he has been building his own machines for a long time.. He m,ight be able to assist

I hate to say it but I have a detector in for repair since September of this year (2022). Everytime I call him, he tells me its on the bench and it should be ready in a week. Apparently, I'm hoping I get it back this year.

I think what killed them are the influencers telling a new Gen of detectorists that they need screens and tones.
Low sales killed them, bit their quality. I have 11 tesoros and only one I bought used, DeLeon, I sent in so I could get the troy coil I had rewound and tuned to the detector.
