Joe Priest is the MAN!

[dobbratacus]

It's been a long, long time since I posted but, today I just have to give a public great big thank you and Bravo Zulu to Joe Priest. Last fall I searched the forum looking for someone who could fix my excal that had a WOT on it. I figured the unit was toast but I decided to give Joe a call. I sent him my unit after the new year and told him that I was in no rush and to do whatever he could. Well, today it came back and I had to email Joe because I thought he had sent me someone elses new machine. It is pristine. New battery cable, end caps, waterproofed, and to top it off new head phones. It looks brand new. I'm not gonna tell you what I paid but I would have gladly paid a hell of a lot more I can not thank Joe enough. Just wanted to let everyone out there know he really is the man. Thanks again Joe Priest and happy hunting. Bill.

....accept this kind of work?? I've got an older (sword with 8" SeaSearch coil) Excal that is now minus the coil, and I suspect the coil is no longer viable. I'd done the modular thing so that I could swap in a WOT when I felt the need, but I'm pretty sure there are wiring issues at this point. As most know, Minelab won't work on most older models. I've considered having it rehabbed at some point, so it's great to know the potential is out there amongst some long respected forum folk.

I cant tell you how many times Joes taken care of me and my many wants and problems. Ive been blessed to get a chance to try some of his new projects that have turned into some of those MODs we all have now. Hunting with an Xcal with his PP switch here in Fl is like having a PI with a disc PPer...... nothing better. This newest pair of Skullies with the tubes..... well they are just the ticket for PP hunting.

Thanks, Joe. I've made a note of that, and this will give me time to think about what new coil and headphones to consider for the unit.
