I just bought an Excalibur on craigslist for $250, can you believe it? It has some issues though, like the housing on the headphone cable and the coil cable are cracked and peeling but I am planning to replace the headphones and coil anyways. I ordered an 8" tornado coil but the only thing that I am not sure of is the color codes on the wiring, if the stock BBS coil wires are different color from the tornado coil wires colors... Does anyone have any Idea and is there a wire diagram that has been posted in the past for installing a tornado coil on an Excalibur board (Blue one)?

Excellent deal, but I have heard of one better...yard sale...15 dollars CZ20.. guy from PA told me of this deal....stopped me on the beach to ask questions about detecting. And I have video coming of the New Gray Ghost Amphibians Mod, How to Convert them for the Excalibur.....very easy and anyone can do it....

John you send me an male Ikelite and I will install it for free. The difference between the old and new is like night and day.
The GG you have are NOT the GG Amphibians. All of the GG Amphibians come with the volume control.
GG has made a waterproof headphone for a number of years.
The Amphibian is a totally new design with Patent Pending features and improvements.
That being said, Joe OldeBeechnut has decided to make a mod to the GG Amphibian (which automatically comes with the Garrett connector) to allow anyone to connect this superior headphone to their Excalibur in a matter of minutes at home - with no down time for having to send out your machine to get the headphone repaired or upgraded!!!

I want to thank everyone for their help and friendly advice... I hard wired the tornado coil (which the color coding was the same as the BBS coil), hard wired new grey ghost headphones and replaced the o-rings in all of the pots... I tested the unit in the tub and it didn't leak but I will see if it holds in the ocean soon... Thanks again everyone for the videos and instructions
