Mk1 Locator Diy Recalibration?

[rigboot 0]

Looking for a bit if help folks

 

I got two Mk1 8' boxes which need repaired, one has dry speaker joints - easy fix, the other needs calibrating as anything after 3 feet doesn't register with box/collar with new batteries etc

 

Any ideas if its possible to diy re-alibrate the box or does it look like a component failure?

 

Like to have a bash at fixing myself so any ideas welcomed

Thanks in advance

I contacted Pipa but he no longer has the time.

 

Tried tweaking the potentiometers singly then collectively with fresh batteries in a known working collar but the bugger doesn't pick up much after 2-3'

 

Not sure what voltage I should be seeing or pin outs of the wheel either.

 

I think the equivalent replacement IC chip is a "4007" but again not sure if this us the component fault?

Lots of "not sures" lol
