HELP! Just given Whites Eagle II Pro

[chrisplay2004]

Well, I have been using my Bounty Hunter VLF el cheapo for about a year, last night my father in law gave me this Whites Eagle II Proffesional with rechargable battery pack and C battery pack (C Pack very corroded). He says I need a plug to charge the pack and only used twice (This thing looks brand new ). I know nothing about this machine. I'm looking for the instruction manual and the plug. Then I need to learn this older but way more advanced MD than I have ever used. I Hope this is a good MD and can't wait to try it... 8)
Any advice?

I think you can find a manuel here:

Looks like a good machine.

I would try radio shack, they may have a universal charger that will work for that.

You have the cross-over Eagle. There was the original (1986 or 87-ish) that had the solid white loop. Then your incarnation ('89 or '90, blue box with 950 loop), then the "SLII" version (black box w/the 950 loop). I don't know what the difference was in the transition before they went to the final black box, but I know that I used to hunt with a friend of mine who had that unit. I had the SLII, while he had the unit like yours. I always got better depth than him, when we compared marked targets.

Still a good machine though. Good in urban demolition sites d/t good target separation (fast recovery). They didn't ground-track very well, IMHO, so if you're in an area that has changing ground minerals, keep re-balancing every time you walk any given distance "just to be sure".
