  1. In my quest for finding a schematic for the 5900 (in the title), I have come across one for the 6000. Can anyone tell me what difference there is, between the two. Can I use this to continue, or do I still need to find this specific model's information? Or should I ask in another thread/location for this specific schematic? Merry Christmas y'all. Put Christ back into Christmas!
  2. Hello Vic, Yes, I'm talking about White's detectors, specifically the 5900 Di PRO Sl. I'm looking forward to using this particular one, after I do what I can to repair it. Hence why my request if anyone has a schematic for it. No, I do not 'repair White's' so-to-speak. I'm looking to repair the one that I have here, of which I just inherited it from my father's estate. I've done a bit of soldering and dabbling and creating in the past. Apologies if I misled.
  3. Yes, I am looking to trace the problem and do the repair myself. Living on a fixed (Disability) income doesn't allow for much 'extra' expenses. I have time on my hand, so I'll do what I can. As for the schematic's, if ANYONE has a set they'd be willing to share, or if you know of a link I could use, that'd be HUGE. I'm not an electronicologist, but I am able to trace, solder, spark, and 'release-magic-smoke'. Merry Christmas y'all,
  4. Thank you sir. I now have a place to aim for, as well as a starting point. From the list you have at the bottom of the post, I'm assuming (I hate doing that) that I have the 9.5" P/N 801-3217-3 as mine is labelled the: Blue Max Deep Scan 950 P/N 624-0265 I appreciate your reply, and am in the middle of reading the "Coils PDF" as I checked this thread. I've a long way to go, and I know that. This helps me get pointed into a narrower direction. I appreciate that.
  5. I'd forgotten to add, and can't find an 'edit' function yet, but with regards to the 'coil' I've seen in different places where it was said 'not for use in saltwater'. I'm at the center of the continent, so that isn't an issue. But what about plain 'waterproofness' or is there something I can do to make THAT better? I'm not talking about using it in the rain/snow near as much as puddles and creeks and whatnot. And wet grass, etc.
  6. Greetings, As I'd stated in my intro-post, I have this unit from my father's estate. I'm fully confident that I'll be able to get it up and running. It also has this coil (head?). I'm wondering, seeing as there is NO warranty for it, and I have to take it apart to chase power issues, is there any particular 'fix' and/or 'improvement' that can be made on this, to make it gooder? Also was wondering, considering the advancements in both technology and use, the coil makes me question whether a better one might be more applicable? The foldable/collapsible ones that were used in the ME for mine detection I'm sure were better than this 80's technology, no? As I'd also stated in my intro-post, I'm at the beginning here so I fully admit that I don't know what I should be asking or looking for.
  7. Greetings and Salivations, y'all. I'm new here, and new at this, so bear with me while I begin to learn. I've just inherited from my fathers estate, his White's 5900 Di Sl. First thing I have to do, is take it apart to find out why it isn't working. At all. New batteries, No needle movement. And regarding using it and whatnot, I know what I don't know, and there are so many questions I have that I don't even know what questions to have. So it begins.... Blessings all, and Merry Christmas
