Ferret Finder

[JRT Andy 0]

Hi I’m wonder if there’s anyone in the Yorkshire are that can repair the old Deben Ferret Finders, asking for an old friend who doesn’t have internet access

I sent mine via Royal Mail to Jim chick he repaired and calibrated two 8foot boxes and I had a 15ft box that he worked his magic and made it into a 8ft box. Also supplied a new collar and returned in post £80 all in. All this wAs done within a 24hr time scale of him receiving the boxes

Theres no magic involved changing a mk1 8ft finder to a 15ft or vice versa all he did was change the sticker on the wheel , the boxes are the same 8ft or 15ft its the collars that make the difference

According to him when you use a 15ft collar with 8ft box it's not accurate so he told me but I don't know. Electronics are not my strong point

Jim Chick is the man for anything to do with the old boxes.

If you look in "Calibrating the MK 1 ferret finder "thread Jim Click's number and web site is posted by him.

Cheers Arry

Like i said the only difference between an 8ft and 15ft box is the sticker on the wheel, you can use an 8ft box with a 15ft collar you just double the readings on the wheel and its near enough
