Yes, I am new here and I have just started with this hobby. Found an old FISHER 555D (I read it was very good at the time ) because that is what I could afford right now. Also I like vintage stuff ( like vintage amps or speakers- another hobby which I have been in for many years). I can see , this is kind of "local" forum, most people, if not all are from USA. I am from Australia. What brought me to this site is my 555D, which is not working as it should , so yes, I am looking for schematic diagram ( I will post it on HELP too) so I can get my hands on this repair job. As I have some electronic knowledge, I hope I can bring it to specs again. Wish all the best to everyone in search for treasure. Tomo.

Tomo..in the world of metal detectors, that 555D is somewhat of an antique. Cool in some ways, not so much in others. FWIW, I looked at a number of resources and could not find a schematic for you.
I would really encourage you to save up some $$ (AU dollars, of course), and then look into some of the affordable detectors. There is a massive difference in technology today vs. back when the 555D was considered a hot machine.
There's a bunch of Aussie's on here, and maybe one could recommend a local dealer, or at least a good one down under.

Hi Mike, thank you for reply. I am getting your point in regards to 555D, it represent kind of a challenge from electronic point of view for me; first I would like t fix it, then I have an idea of improving its' performance, but schematic would be crucial to it. I looked up Concrete, Washington on google, beautiful place... Did you mean that bunch of Aussies reside Concrete?
