My old NY Excal is gone the way of all mechanical devices with time and lots of use (and perhaps some abuse!!).

Splicing the coil cable worked beautifully!! The Sweet little butterfly coil worked like a charm!!

Now all I needed was a connector to allow me to switch coils!!

Double and triple checked all wire connections and found all work flawless!!

Power on, a flash of light, a puff of smoke and I can never hunt with the old girl again!!

There is a great temptation to bury the her at sea, but she will likely just end up in the land of departed detectors and sweet memories.

Any of our Friends or Fellow Hunters along the Connecticut shore that wish to view the remains can contact me for calling hours.

Thanks all for your advice and your generosity in shareing tips along the way.

One Sad Old Ex Excal Owner,

However, do not just bury her... Part her out.. save the pieces and you could find uses for them. If you wish, let me know and I will buy her from you for parts.

Thanks for your reply Mikie.

The remains are spoken for, but if the deal falls through I'll
let you know Friend.

The SEF coil worked flawlessly with the cable spliced,but I wanted to use it in the water and to be able to change coils.

My post mortum continuity tests revealed nothing unusual.

When I pulled the circuit board there was no doubt ahe was fried!

Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda left the old girl alone, but then I wouldn't have learned this lesson,
