sooo ive been reading all the bad press on minelab service here.
i have an older excal sword logo that is dead. i got it cheap and had it working
great when dry. as soon as i took it in the water. BOTH the main housing AND the battery pack flooded. now scrap. a learning experiance.
i had the fantasy that i would take this in and have it fixed and still have a relatively cheap machine. after reading on here i find out how unreal this is.
but wait i recently got a new to me excal2. it seems to work great except
when u turn it off it is not off.so i just unplug the battery connector and
do it thatway.
then i heard that minelab had recently moved their operations to
downers grove illinois. wow my old neighborhood.
dad still nearby and i visit often.
so im going there on a fact finding mission.
ill take the machine along to see if thell
let me depth test it against a new one.\
supposedly they have a fully equipped 'demo room'
according to ther press release.
im curious to see if they will treat me nice or be jerks.
also im goimg to mention all the complaints i see on here.
lets see what they say when they cant just put me on hold
