Garrett Master Hunter CX3 need a Replacement plastic Battery Holder.

[johnnytuinals]

I just got my Garrett Master Hunter CX3 out of my case in 25 years.
Well the Battery look bad so I changed them and the detector still will not work.
Looking at the Green Plastic Battery holder looks like it needs replacement but I cannot find it. anywhere on the internet.
Anyone knows where I can get one and how much will it cost?
I am sure Garrett has them but I am sure they want top dollar?........Thanks

That is why you never leave batteries in anything for extended time, they have ruined more good stuff forever.

I'm not sure that Garrett will have one - but that would be my first try. Another option would be to buy a parts machine on ebay if the battery pak looked ok. Might take a while. Good luck!

Called Garrett and the Had one in stock.
Cost was $25 and $10 shipping($35}
Hope the Detector works now since there was NO battery Leakage outside of the
Battery Holder..............JT

Well I put in a New Battery holder and it still does not work(last week}.
Today I got some white Vinegar and rubbed it on the metal contacts outside of the battery holder of the CX3 and the detector lighted right up.
I was going to sell it since I bought a Brand New Minelab 800 butttt thinking I might just keep the CX3
since I only used it less then 30 mins in 30 years........JT

Is that the model that had "Treasure Talk"
I had one for about ten minutes before it drove me insane lol

Yep it has a woman's voice orrr you can change it to a mans voice lol.
But since I have notttt used it in 30 years(Maybe 30 mins the most}
Seems like a decent detector and should just keep it.
I am notttt sure how much better my Minelab800 will be butttt I feel how can these people that make detectors
keep making them better every few years and make the CX3 and other detectors out dated?........JT
