OBN just finished this for me and I just had to post it. Not only is he very knowledgeable and talented at doing mods he's also a very likable guy.

Yep, I'm jealous. Patiently waiting on my warranty to run out and get in on OBN's next winter's run of mods.

I don't recall anyone saying if the toggle switch is a constant/positive PP-Disc or if it is spring loaded switch.....?

Cal, I had Joe do the SAME MOD's to One of MY EXCALS', and I picked it up from him (2) weeks ago!! Real FIRST CLASS W-O-R-K!! Now I NEED the Opportunity to TAKE IT for

Looks real nice Cal, that was a great idea putting the CTX m12 female connector in endcap....Everyone wants that now...

And I Like those Headphones you made...!!

I bet you will be glad to get away from all this snow.............................Have a safe trip South....

Thanks again Joe. I'm loving this setup already but I'll give you some input as soon as I get out with it.

Sigh... Lovely weather here. They say waiting builds character. I am ready to cast a Disney movie.
Excal is on extended vacation. I am stuck digging pennies and bobbie pins with the PI. Sigh...

I have an Excal 1000 this has been completely redone from Minelab, including a new Board, etc...loving this setup, what's the cost on having OBN do this Mod, Thanks, LFG

OldBeechnut has closed shop for now, so I'm not sure. Send him a PM and let him know what you're thinking about doing.

OBN is the man. I still haven't had the time to do that mod on my Xcal (PP/Disc Switch). Joe, let me know when you open shop again so I can get on the list. That looks great.

 

[pasttom]

I can second that- OBN is the MAN! I heard from Joe that my Excal is heading home in the morning and fit for glory. Wahoo! You deserve the best year of hunting ever! Karma points billionaire!

I bought all the equipment I didn't already have to do the modification and any future upgrades myself. It's very easy to do with PP/ GGA kit from Old Beeachnut. I know he's closed up shop, but if he has any kits for sale, that may be an option if you know how to solder. What a different hunting experience this mod makes!!! Thanks, Old Pirate!!

Fletch, I have the SAME EXACT set-up, except my BLUE 1000 NOW has a SEF 10"X12" Butterfly Coil!! I L-I-K-E IT!! Les Robinson.
