comanche 3,301 Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 Can't tell from the picture if you have an 8ft or 15ft collar there . If it takes two little batteries it is a 15 footer. The 8ft takes a single battery. Sometimes a gentle wipe-over of the circuit board will revive an old box that has been laid-up . Removes the verdi-gris corrosion that can build-up. The old grey box finder will detect a mark 2 or mark 3 collar up to about 10 feet,maybe a tad more with good batteries all-round . A mark2 collar will tick quite fast and thus flatten its batteries quicker than a mark3 collar which ticks at a more leisurly rate. Accuracy is pretty much the same and anyway you can always familiarise yourself with the device by practicing at home . Hope this helps . Quote Link to post
