Just found this site and registered.  I just bought a used BH Lonestar metal detector.  After I got it home and put new batteries in it I discovered that the on/off sensitivity switch is apparently bad.  I have a soldering iron and can still solder pretty good.  Does anyone know where I can get a replacement switch?

Bitburg gave me a Bounty hunter Camo LS.   Guess what?

Yep, Same problem.    The Switch/Pot they use in them is a peace of Crap stamped out metal Cheapo.

I just Bypassed the Pot Switch and put in a switch on mine but now the Pot it's self has taken a dump too.

Looks like I need to get off my butt and find one for both of us.

Hang in there and I will find them.

100K with Switch.

You can order one here. No minimum but you'll probably do like I do and stock your cabinets with other goodies.

You certainly can't complain about the price, mate.

I order parts from them by the hundreds normally. Small but fully stocked. They have offices on 4 continents making shipping fast and cheap worldwide.
