I purchasesd a used Garrett AT Pro about mid summer. Since then, it's seen the ocean, beach, parks, school yards and colonial sites. It's taught me quite a bit, and frustrated me as well.
During that time I noticed the PP switch started acting up. Working intermittently. Called Garrett CS, they checked the serial and it still had 5 months warranty left. They said send it in. That was 2 weeks ago. Just got it back. They PMed the control box (according to CS that means replacing the main board with the latest version, and new seals) and replaced the coil which was found to be faulty. So... It's basically a new MD in a used case. Checked it out last night, seem to be working much better than when I got it. And all it cost me was outbound shipping.
Sadly, I think it will be until spring before I can take it back out for a real trial run.
Thanks Garrett service!
