When I called Whites and gave them the serial # to the DFX that I bought a few weeks ago, I was told that mine was a 2005/2006 model. Guess I should call again to confirm and find out what years the DFX was made. What I do know is that Whites supports their products, all of them. The guy I talked to said that they have repaired units that were from the 1960s. Buying a good machine is obviously important but having full product support is equally vital because as the saying goes; "nothing good lasts forever."

They are still making the DFX...its called the DFX 300 know...but its still the same DFX they started with...just put different names on them, like the one I bought was called the DFX Spectrum....found out it was not such a good deal at $100, Whites has mine now going thou it...they said it shouldn't be more than $200 to go thou and replace anything that's needs it...so $300 for a refurbished machine..i can live with that...

It was still a good deal as its the same as the DFX 300, the DFX 300 is just got the 300MM coil on it and as far as having to send it in I wouldn't if it was working fine. If the detector is operating fine then it isn't in need of repair, if it isn't broke then don't fix it. HH

It had a few problems that didn't show up for a few days...LCD had some lines...and it wouldn't run thou the start up steps..so I sent it in...

$300 for a basically new DFX is a great deal. By the way, I got a response back from Whites via email and found that my DFX was built March 8th 2005.

I think they told me the DFX I got was made in 2003...and it showed...its the reason I got it for $100...and if Whites can go thou it and fix it all up for $200....I will feel pretty lucky....
