Mick Dadd - Ferret Box Servicing

[SINDASOX 256]

I've read a few posts here and there that Mick Dadd services and repairs the old style ferret boxes, just wondering has anyone ever had any repairs done or had their box serviced by him, my box is working, but what i have found recently (when i tested it)....is that it is not an accurate reading, for example if i've got it set on the box at 2ft, the collar is 3ft away so it's a foot out, can you still get the dials to stick onto the wheel.

 

 

Cheers

it needs re-calibrating. you can still get the stickers. they are for sale on e-bay sometimes. i think country joe had 1 serviced off him. phone m.dadds for advice, price etc. he also sells mk1 collars. atb

i just had one done by mik,, cost me £20 wich i thought was cheap, bearing in mind deban servicing was £50... mine might of been a mates rate though, as i know mik,,,

 

mine came back a little difrent though,,, ile try to explain,, instead of the little wheele on the side with the depth gadge,,, mine has a knob on the other end , the sort you would find on an old radio..... and where the wheele was the little slot is filled in to stop dirt getting in.

 

also the new diel thing didnt have, any depth markings on it,, so i had to scratch them on my self.,,

 

from my description it all sounds abit odd i know..........but the locator now works well ...

 

of course that may have been the only way mine could have been fixed,, maybe others might still retain the normal wheele.

I sent away for the wheel stickers on ebay, cheap and easy to put on, Mick fixed my old mark1 which was broken, and i also bought one off him, that he had serviced, both work spot on. also bought a new mark 1 collar off him.

ive started saving them now, as i also have the Mark3m.

ive just had 3 serviced and one repaired by mick. charged me £20 each .put new stickers on them all and they all work perfectly now. if you ring him he will give you an idea how much yours will cost.

What was the problem with the 3 you had serviced robbo, and the other one that was repaired.
