Did anyone contact a dealer or directly to Minelab and find out if only the X-Terra 705 control box and Instruction Manual can be purchased without the 3 piece shaft and coil, at any reduction in price??
Why someone may ask? To save some money, and one example is if someone has an older X-Terra 30, then all he needs to buy is an X-Terra 705 control box to slide on his existing shaft and he is ready to go.
Also, if someone has an X-Terra 70 with 2 complete shafts(including an extra aftermarket straight shaft) and an assortment of different coils already. All he needs to buy, again is the X-Terra 705 control box and not the whole unit assembly.
Because all the shafts and some coils are interchangable between machines. (The stock 9" MF 7.5 kHz coil works on all 6 machines.)
OR it cannot be purchased this way and/or there no point in doing this anyway in the first place?
