does anyonehave any information about this model?
it seems to be an older device and i can't find anything in the way
of a manual or circuit diagram.
I have one i'd like to refurbish so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
JJ

Now....! I've had some exchange of emails between myself and Fisher.
They can supply a user manual for a small sum ($4)   Great

As soon as i work out the time difference I'll be calling them with payment
and waiting for the mailman.
I had a close look at the detector (still sitting among the junk in the shed) and it seems there
is only one wire broken, and that's off a battery clip. At some time someone has replaced at least one clip and some silcone coating has been scraped off the PCB, but it all seem intact.
The only bits that don't seem to be there are a couple of screw fastsners that hold the covers together.
I'll post some pics when i get around to putting it back together. (before / after type).

Thanks again for the link there GoldDigger.

JJ

My pleasure, mate. If they're sending you a wiring diagram or schematic, that's a good result. Normally that's not something they provide. Count yourself lucky.
