she has gone crazy

my old sovereign did the same thing few years back, on and off - threshold switch was bad...............excal sounds just like that.............who knows

will ship to vegas on friday............she has been trouble free for a very long time.

now i have to track down my new excal.............i lent it to a friend to hunt the OBX all this week, but i do not know if he is returning friday or sunday

i will charge the batteries on the surfasplorer just i case.

good luck to everyone

Hey Gravedigger, keep us informed on the turn around time and quality of repair. That is an important item for us to have knowledge of. My experience with Minelabs, USA goes back a couple years when their repair service was less than poor. I would purchase another except for my memory of the slow repairs and poor quality.

Hope you get her back soon Gravedigger. I had to send in mine for the first time in many years in June and it took a little less than a month to get it back. I thought I had a hole in the coil but it turned out to be a threshold problem with the switch. No cost even though it was out of warranty. The only other company that treats it's customer this way seems to be Tesoro. Luckily I had my 800 that I used for diving. I felt handicapped using the smaller coil so I started reusing the CZ20 again. Felt worse.......
