DEUS I went squirrely on me ..

[TORRERO]

Was out yesterday with my DEUS I with my friend doing playgrounds and discovered that my machine is acting up.
It still works but the digital numbers are WAY OFF.. Quarters are normally 97-98 but now are 55-56
Dimes 54 and Nickels 46... lower numbers seemed to be working, it was picking up everything just the numbers were way off...
any ideas ?

Have you taken the coil cover off and checked for dirt and grime under it ?

Water under the coil cover will also make it erratic. I tape the edges of my coil covers with some high quality electrical tape. It is easy to replace when it gets worn

I have not done either one of these but I can tell you that its almost certainly not the coil, its not squirrely in that sense, just that the numbers have changed... for the target ID. I've used digital machines for 20+ years and never had this happen...
