Guys, thx for reply's, yeah for sure post about old buzzers that come up 2nd hand, my main criteria is * reliability * im not into fancy features on them, thats why i went with nev's, just simple to use, only other grip with nev's is why don't they have a TONE option?!

OG thx for that FLAT rubber washer link, could well be the answer!

The best alarms I have had have been the cheapest ( Micron ES ) and most expensive ( RS+).
The ES were cheap as chips and utterly reliable.
The tart in me saw me replace them with a set of TXi +, which were great. As long as it wasn't the least bit damp. Delkim couldn't sort them out either.
Seeing the numerous comments on Delkim's Facebook page about unreliability of the Txi D's, It would take some serious persuasion to get me to swap my Fox RX plus's for anything else on the market.
Had them since they first came out and they have performed faultlessly, in all weathers.

Nothing more simple than ATT's.

Still using mine. Old heads on one setup. New on another
And using the original receiver.

There was a guy on here always moaning about his alarms and chopping
And changing. One quote 'never had one that hasn't let me down sooner
Or later'

Fished with him once. He got so drunk he was sick in his bivvy.

My set must be 15 years old, all good, never get false bleeps, batteries last forever. What's not to like?

They have never been anything other than completely reliable for me. Not had a single issue with them and they've been through everything nature can throw at them.

interesting...

i may pick up a 2nd hand set to have as spare set of buzzers if my nevs pack up, heres a 3 set ATTs from a dealer ebay.co.uk/itm/204234864615? at only 150 quid!

Although technically wouldn't be the best, without the much commented vibration sensing, and are long since unavailable, but my ideal would be a set of AVA's converted to work with a (wireless) remote.

Form over function maybe, but the best looking alarms ever IMO, I absolutely regret selling mine!

Can't go wrong really.

I bought a set of the new Fox Mini Micron X for a water where I needed cheap and cheerful with long range on the receiver.

Can honestly say I don't know what else you would need with a roller buzzer. Adjustable sensitivity, tone and volume. Drop back and colour change LED if you're into that. Nice and small, weigh nothing and so far have been completely reliable.

Makes me wonder what exactly the RX+ alarms do over these at 3 x the price?

I still use TXIs for most fishing as in general I like a vibration sensor, but cannot fault the little Fox units.

like a few people I have owned and used practically every make of alarm on the market since the invention of the Heron bite alarms and had all the delkim models apart from the very latest one
and I will stick with my TXIs never ever had seconds problem with any water and trust me I have been fishing in Europe in storms lasting a week where the rain has bought the lake up had to move it back twice !!!
the ONLY alarm I did not get on with was ATTs because I was fishing a rock hard water in France and runs are not often ! the line went down the side of the roller !! and it was by chance I got up for a pee by then the fish was other side and in a snag

I now have 4 sets of alarms left .........Delkim TXis,... JRC Radar CX ,...Nash Siren

and lastly a set of Prologic Bat+ Bite Alarms THESE REALLY IMPRESS ME ! Prologic have made some crappy alarms the previous model to this ( not the +) is to be avoided but these are great

I LOVE DELKIM alarms for me they have been nothing but 100% reliable en every condition unlike roller alarms they dont freeze up in harsh winters etc
and the most adjustable alarm going if you got more than 2 brain cells !!

I WOULD NOW NEVER EVER BUY A SET OF ALARMS THAT DOES NOT HAVE A SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

if I didnt own Delkim and I wanted a set of alarms
that would need be ADJUSTABLE waterproof and reliable with a budget of say £200 ?
I would buy this bargain of a lifetime LINKY POO
They call them bat alarms because the long useful sides almost like snag arms make it look like a bats ears

I had a right laugh at the expense of a newbie Delkim owner the other week- he had bought a set 2nd hand of his mate (Who was also on the bank at the same time) One of the Alarms kept bleeping numerous times every few minutes, made the mistake of asking me what it was “ It's the inbuilt weather warning feature, it's going to rain either take them into your bivvy or put a cover over your Rods” keeping a perfectly straight face, previous owner chipped up “Quick before they get wet!”
