Split coil cable

[mrbaker]

Just got a minelab  sovereign elite just putting it together and noticed 2 splits in the cable the worse split has tiny fractures the 2nd smaller split is about 8" from the coil so can the cable be replaced? Got it off eBay so I can go through paypal if needed.

Is it outer sheath or the wires if just outer tape I do not think you can tack coils a part

[mrbaker]

One of the splits has breaks in the wires so probably needs to be spliced and heatshrinked just a pain as it wasn't mentioned in the advert.

Return it

[mrbaker]

I have sent a msg to the seller I'm 50/50 at the moment

[impos1]

As its not as described return it it open a case. It will do more damage to try and repair it

[DaveJ]

Why keep something and have the worry to repair it yourself,return it and find another coil or similar.Simples

[symon1236]

I had the same trouble with a sovereign the seller told me it was 100. % and when I recived it .it was not working at then told me to go forth and multiply I rang eBay the grave me the £180 back and I could keep the detector

[mrbaker]

So far no reply from the seller I will give him until tomorrow eve to reply.

If you open a case ensure you include photos of the defect. This will help your case.

[redkite]

Suggest you open the case now , he will have his chance when the case is up and running

[mrbaker]

I did include photos in the initial msg will give him until 8pm to respond.

[dexters shed]

having gone through this myself mrbaker, I'd recommend opening a case sooner rather than later,

Ebay always back the buyer good luck.

Open the case soon as possible, don't give the seller the excuse of you used it you broke it.
