Compass- judge 2 (bought around 1970 something)

Go Up Go Down

Gave my grandsons some Bounty hunter juniors yesterday and they were thrilled. We haven't been able to use them outdoors yet but I'm hoping for the best. They are 7 and 5 years old so it should be fine. My question is that I have an old Compass judge 2 that I've been trying to operate (after 30+ years on the shelf) and it seems to be very sensitive as it works for awhile and then it won't. I work the knobs and it's iffy about how long before it sort of works. Anyway I have a chance to purchase a Bounty hunter sharpshooter II and was wondering if it's a good choice or not? They want $200.00 and it comes with headphones and a pinpointer. Any guidance is welcome here.

On your older machine, often the electrolytic capacitors age and swell up a little causing instability. Also, if that model has a battery tray as many older machines did, clean the contacts and see if that helps.

Where do you live? If you need the capacitors replaced, any tech can do it as long as they are careful not to break any of the wires. They get brittle too.

It's all about that moment when metal that hasn't seen the light of day for generations frees itself from the soil and presents itself to me.

  Bounty Hunters are Under Rated machines.  If you look around I think you could do better on that price.
