DazAllison1 556 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Any body any tips on how to keep/make a good connection on the mk2 collar? The collar won't work unless I press down hard on the connection Quote Link to post
bobcullen79 1,495 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 Bit of tinfoil in the cap? The tighter you screw it the more the tinfoil would compact? Just a thought. I dont know owt about electronics or mk 2`s for that matter lol Quote Link to post
robbo 802 Posted January 27, 2014 Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 I give the contact in the middle of the collar a clean up with a screwdriver tip or a bit of sandpaper and then solder a blob of solder onto the top of the contact to raise it up. Quote Link to post

Agree its the only way to go for a perm fix. Quote Link to post

heritage 202 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 I think there must be some collar confusion here.... The above recommendations are good but none of them are really applicable to the mk2., The mark 2 collar was the first one deben made using the new low profile,rectangular design, it was black plastic and ran off 2 (393 ? ) batteries covered by a slide off cap, it was mounted onto a nylon collar. The collars went.... Mk 1 (screw cap,leather collar ) Mk 2 (black rectangular style, nylon collar) Mk3 ( grey rectangular style,nylon collar) Mk3m ( round plastic, screw top, leather collar ) Hopefully this may help clarify the collar type and a means of repair....Atb.

I stand corrected, its the mk3 collar the grey retangular transmitter, just off the phone to deban and basically they said there's nothing they can do with them and they reccomend I buy a new mk3m collar Quote Link to post
