    no parts from minelab:ranting:

    Called minelab today. Wanted replacement pots but they would not sell them. Sending them the detector is mandatory.. Is this how they operated when they were at kelly co. I thought you could get parts. To replace all pots will be about $120 labor, $30 for parts, and shipping to and from. So it...

    Is kelly co back logged on non warranty repair work?

    I need pots replaced on my old excal. Any idea of the wait time and cost? I was going to send it in months ago but got information the main tech passed away(RIP) and they were bogged down. Plus life got very busy. I would replace myself but looks extremely complex to switch out. thanks brian n nc

    Excals shaft binding...

    I have and older blue excal(not the horse shoe coil) that the shafts are super hard to turn, especially the on/off. When I say hard-very hard. I took the end caps off and can see how the shaft mates with the pots. So the binding is occurring where the shaft passes through the housing. I applied...
