So I got my new to me black Tejon in the mail. I'm still at work so I haven't played with it yet.
My question is about the GB pot.
It has lateral play in it. Not turning play, but up down side to side play, almost like it's loose (think turning on it off a light switch rather than rotating it.)
I don't recall any of my other detectors with ground balance having this.
Again I haven't been able to take home and rest it thoroughly or anything, but it just worries me lol.
Can anyone chime in if this is normal? I see there is an o-ring on the pot stem too that I'll need to replace.
I hope it's normal. Seems to function normally and spins until the ends and keeps spinning like it should. The knob also seems far out from the face but that seems to be because of the o-ring that's in the groove on the pot stem.
Maybe I'm worrying too much but just curious if this is normal.
The nut securing the pot to the face is tight. There's just some lateral play in all directions if I push on the side of the knob
