Minelab just lost at least one Equinox order

Whats wrong with being able to buy repair parts?

Nothing at all...

I agree 100% with you, but no detector company does this, not sure why....

I don't think you can buy internal parts from any detecting manufacturer plus working on it yourself will also void your warranty.

Not so. Whites have sent me parts twice. Once they didn't even charge me.

I've had the same good service with Whites as well.

Must be an expensive model. Ebay has one parts only for 499.89.

I agree a private company can do what they want,,,,and as a consumer I can choose to not give them my money when they will not support the people who spent 3000 dollars in 2 detectors with them. A private company can do what they want, its their business, but its my money,,,,Looks like I will be contacting white's

No whining!!! Yeah, just go ahead and cut off your nose to spite your face and nobody (especially Minelab) will care.

Or buy another brand. Any brand.

I think one of the reasons many MD manufacturers don't sell parts is to discourage people from taking their detectors apart and breaking stuff in the process.

Seriously? Minelab is not going bankrupt due to a treasure hunting website...

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Sheepdog, please post by our rules.

Reminder to all, misspelling to bypass site censor still violates our rules.

If you're still looking for an end cap, I can check with a buddy that might have one. There's also the battery end cap available right now on Ebay. Serious Detecting has it.

That was sarcasm

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

Sheepdog no politics!

 

[Tnmountains]

3-d printer or the good suggestions of other members. I think you have your answers.

I heard Minelab is going out of business now.

Calm down...

EASY fix...Just drill out the old and put a Heyco fitting in ...$1.17 plus shipping

It is threaded so you will need to Tap or use a 2 part epoxy to mount in a drilled out hole. Since you have to put in a new cable you will need to epoxy the endcap anyway...

Heard wrong, Minelab sales are quite good, Minelab is owned by Codan, look at their 2019 annual statement, in fact Minelabs 2019 sales was highest ever at $182 million.

 

[smokeythecat]

Minelab is fine. I think he was pulling our collective legs...

 

[Sheepdog43338]

I would love to discuss minelabs business with you vdi,,,,in person,,,,,Have a great day

I can tell you I shipped my excalibur II to the new repair center in PA to be checked out and since it was several years old I wanted all new seals also put on it. They did a fantastic
job on it and found a bad pod on it which was making my coil not preform properly. They replaced it, calibrated the machine and it smokes going very deep now. The bill was very reasonable too. You have to call Minelab in Indiana to get a RCA number before you ship the unit to the repair center.
