Well done mate looking forward to using it. 😊
You will find twice as much gold now 😛
Great work and ready for another few years of service, can’t believe where that sand gets 🤣👍
I was surprised as well. Also how heavy it was compared to my detectors now :-) It did feel a bit vintage.
@@SandyToesDetecting I do remember the weight 😬
@@ThePhilandPam I had forgotten how heavy it was.
Gola buenas saludos desde España prodria hacer un video de la condiguracion para oro en playa gracias i enhorabuena por su canal
My ctg has a black line down the screen,it still works, I was wondering where you get the replacement screen from (uk) thanks
Yes, that is the start of screen failing. Sometimes just cleaning the flexible cable contacts with alcohol can cure problem. The screens I have got from ebay / aliexpress, cost is around 50 euro. If you dont feel confident in doing this yourself, the minelab service agent MSR chargers about £150.
@@SandyToesDetecting I got black lines again. I'm on my 3rd screen replacement now since 2013. what I'm understanding is. They dont like heat. All gone in the summer and all during a heatwave, left in the car was my first, out in a field on a summers day second and admittedly left in the car again this last week (i'm a fool) thanks for the video I Wont be spending £150 again this time.
p.s would you happen to know if there are different models to the screen replacement? i..e lcd v backlit on earlier models of ctx? will try cleaning ribbon cable first but the screen has got a bluey tone to it so guessing the cystal fluid has breached
@@flipper8652 You are not having much luck on screens. LCD's are very temperature sensitive, hot / cold can kill them. I think all the CTX screens are EL (electro luminous) backlit, ie a piece of plastic that glows when correct voltage applied, typically 100 V with a 400 hz or so frequency. I have always been very careful with any detector to ovoid direct sun whilst in transport and never left in hot or very cold car. The other problem with CTX as I found out to my cost a year or so back is that it took me ages to park as beach was very busy and though the detector was in case it got very hot, then I went into sea and the air inside the head unit contract quickly dragging in sea water inside it through the air pressure relief valve (behind the speaker), I think I did a video on that a while ago. A lot of detectors have these valves. The equinox series do and caused a lot of leaks on early versions. My Deus has one. Etc. Good luck
@@SandyToesDetecting thanks for the heads up. Will check your other videos 👍
