Excalibur Plastic Battery Pod Evolution

G'day Steve,
Just as Erik said, they have over time changed but with a little surgery the new ones will fit fine.
Just cut the lugs on the control pod and all is well.
Iv'e been through a few batt pods due to age and the odd drop now and then. I still use my old Excal and it's 13yrs old and going strong.
cheers and HH

Yes, the NY Excals '94-'96 had squared edges and the '97 to the present had the newer styled angular edges.

Hello Mel, the Excal NY series were hand built by Gary Storm and his team in New York for Minelab initially, before the units went into mass production in 1997. They were hand made there from '94-'96 and they are suppose to be superior to the later models. The overall build quality is superior from what I can tell initially. I have recently purchased one and am in the process of determining that theory.
