[A Way To Repair A Broken Switch On Ferret Finder]

Good fix mate thanks for sharing with us.

 

Does anybody have or know where I can get the trimer resistor that has 100 written on it. it is a adjustable resistor there are 2 on the board and are different values, these adjust the distance but it is tricky.

 

Cheers Arry

 

The size of the timmers are 100R and 1M.

 

1M are readily available and cheap

100R are harder to find and dearer

[Mk3M Collar Battery Help]

It is perfectly safe to use the batteries. They are identical dimensions and voltage to a 394 battery. The difference is that AG9 is alkaline whereas 394 is silver oxide.

 

In general alkaline batteries have a lower mAh rating than their silver oxide equivalent so don't last as long. Silver oxide will be around 80mAh whereas alkaline will be about 50mAh.

I'll buy your broken Mk1 ferret finders.

[Deben Ferret Finder Spares]

Have you tried ringing deben mate for battery cover?atb rich

 

If you are lucky they will send you one free of charge.

[Mk1 Ferret Finder]

The price varies a lot on EBay.

 

In the last month I have picked up two lots containing similar to what you are selling for just under £100 including postage. They both contained a finder finder, 8ft ferret collar, 15ft ferret collar and a 15ft terrier collar.

 

On a good day they may fetch nearer the £200 mark.

[Replacement Leather Collars]

Where do you buy replacement leather collars for the Mk1 8ft ferret transmitters?

 

Deben used to sell a 6 pack for £5.95 but have discontinued them. Now all I can find is Mk3M replacements collars at £2.95 each. These will do the job but seem expensive.

[Collar Battery Life.]

Make sure you use silver oxide ones and not alkaline.

[Recalabrating Box]

Don't waste money on getting it calibrated just double the distance it's telling you when you use a 15ft collar. Won't be spot on but near enough.

[Mk1 Deben Ferret Finder Question]

If it's a Mk1 8ft ferret collar that takes a single LR44 battery I would leave it in, it will last 3 to 4 months. Any other collar take the battery(s) out otherwise you will need new ones every 10 to 15 days.

[Can A Collar Be Out?]

Collars either work or they don't so would put it down to the box.

 

Is he using a 15ft box where he needs to half the reading from 6ft to 3ft which when you allow for calibration differences could be 2ft.

[Deben Mk3 Color]

They regularly pack up in my experience.

[I Have A Bag Full Of Purse Nets.]

You normally get about a quid each for them on ebay second hand regardless of what they are made from or their size.

[Micro Collar End Caps]

Are these for 8ft collars that take a single 393 type battery or 15ft collars that that two 393 batteries?

 

I have a few of the 15ft ones.

Add me to the list of those after it.

Also after Poach It Cook It Eat It 2.

[Mk 3 Ferret Finder]

You can buy collars without a finder for £62 delivered from air rifle shop.

I assume you have a Mk3M collar which will take two 394 type batteries stacked one on top of the other.

[Mk3 Ferret Finder + 2 Collars]

put it on ebay mate mine at £165 with 5 hours to go.

 

and I bet the timewaster doesn't pay.

[Ferret Finder]

Mk3 and Mk3M are interchangable.

[Mk1 Collars ?]

I have about a 10% success rate at fixing them so can't understand why they fetch almost as much as a working one on EBay.

 

Wouldn't pay more than a fiver myself.

[Advice Sourcing Mk3M Collar Parts]

Deben are the obvious choice.

 

If you are lucky they many send you the bit for free. All depends who deals with you, sometimes they don't want to know, others they are wonderful.

[New 8Ft Ferret Collars]

 

They are only £30 on EBay off seller 163derek

and you have got them on there for £37 starting bid plus postage (people in glass houses) ????

 

 

Was surprised when someone brought one but guess they have had before and decided they would go with what they knew.
