Made a nice score on Friday, at least I think so, picked up a Whites 6000/DI Pro SL with a 950 coil and a 4900/d for $150!
The 4900 works great and has both batteries but the 6000 is missing one of the battery terminals inside the unit. I opened it up and the terminal snapped off. The base is still attached to the circuit board. So now I'm not sure wether to cannibalize the 4900 or try to make one to fit. I doubt I'll be able to find a replacement unless someone out there has a dead unit they'd like to sell for parts?
Also thought about calling Whites but not sure what the cost will be. Guess there's only one way to find out! The 4900 is in wonderful shape, the 6000 has a lot of field rash but I think it gives it character.
I always wonder what kind of finds these older machines found. If they could only talk!
