    Default Took apart VG-2 and retuned it

    Since one of my VG-2s came out of tune, I figured I would retune it myself since Technisonic Industries wouldn't return my calls. Using an older Whistler 1595 and Pro 58 rd at seperate intervals to retune it helped the process. I am amazed how much the unit came out of tune and how much better it works now. Hope you guys have a great day.

    Don't have any pics presently, sorry. But I can tell you tactical22, I was surprised how far out of tune this 2nd VG-2 was. Now that it is tuned up, I need to put the cover back on. It is a challenge to put it back together that same way it came apart. I have to LOL at how Technisonic Industries wouldn't call me back on a simple tuneup and money in their pockets. Well, I guess that just means more for me in the end now doesn't it? I'll pm you.

    I thought the title said "returned it" and I was hoping to see you get like a RMA number and put it on a box full of parts, and ship it back to them. Oh, well...

    Nope, Technisonic Industries out of Ontario Canada wouldn't let me return it so I guess I saved some money eh.
