Smilodon · Jul 18, 2011

They still make the Excalibur so you would think they would still carry the part

..................That don't sound right don't carry the part for a detector they still make......... That's the kind of thing that keeps me from wanting to get any more Minelabs.........

Hello, It is the Minelab Excalibur I the older model. I still cannot believe they did not carry this part. I love the Minelabs but the service sucks. I also have two Sovereigns, The Gt and the older model. I was told on the phone they no longer carried the battery holder, although when I went to their office they had one in stock. I also sent my GT back for warranty work, they sent it back without fixing the threshold problem two months later. I love the machines but will have to look for a more reliable company. I hope there is someone out there who can find the headphone part, cant use it without it.

Maybe cheaper to get a set of Peltor 105 Earmuffs, with a DB rating of 30, instead of the weak 12 DB of the stock. Easily done, Cut the transducers out of the stock Yellows and put them in the Peltors. A great improvement allowing less ambient noise.There are 3 things you can do to the Excalibur to improve it, A strait shaft, peltors, and the remote PP.

I have been useing Minelab detectors since 1992........... And at one time they had great service........... But there service went down hill so fast i will not buy a Minelab detector now............... And that is a sad thing for they make some of the best detectors out there............... But at this time they don't seem to care for the customer at this time........I guess it is the so called big wigs that set up in there ivory tower and say ............... Don't make parts for the detectors when they break make them buy a new detector don't make repair parts for the one they have........ It's not the dealers the dealers are great..................It is the :nono:

upper management.... But that is what happens when a co. gets to big......

See if Minelab can provide a complete, compatible headset only, and solder that baby up yourself. Gob the snot out of the connections with silicone rtv, and you are off and running. No rocket science here. Try the guys that make a business out of fixing all brands, they are out there and I am sure they can hook you up with the goods that you need to get that machine working again. Good luck Smilodon.
