HI TO EVERYONE...

[tomom]

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.

I noticed someone answered this question on your Forum Fisher Research Labs post at: FISHER 555D schematic...

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.

Welcome from far Pacific Northwest of the US, where it's getting cold and wet here in the rainforest.

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?
