Buy them out then let them die. One less competitor to deal with.

Sad that's true. Whites has/had a great following but unfortunately did not keep up with technological advances after the V3i.

I reached out to Centerville Electronics, here's some interesting info on Whites:

Garrett only bought their name and some machinery. We and our sister company in Oregon have all the parts. We sold out of both the V3i rechargeables and only having the 802-5281 remanufactured.

Minelab Vanquish 340, Tesoro Silver uMax, Compadre, and BH Tracker IV.

Ex: White's Spectrum XLT, Tesoro Cutlass II Umax, and that circa late 70's red handled junk from RadioShack that started it.

There's a 3D printed replacement someone was making that takes 3 Li-ion rechargeable batteries instead of the 8 AA. If I come across the link again I will let you know.

I cannot find a link for these 3D printed 18650 battery holders, or the pdf for printer instructions. They have bigger capacity than the standard White's Electronics 8 AA holder (more detect time). Maybe an image search can find a seller?
