I got my X-Cal today. Confirmed some of your suspicions, it is a short shaft set up for diving.
What they really got me on is they did not furnish the battery charger with it.
The info I was able to gather about the X-Cal was all on the newer units and, I think, they come with replaceable AA cell batteries in the battery holder, rechargeable are optional. Since the information is very limited on the MineLab Site until you register and you cannot register without a serial number, the information was not available and there wasn't anything to alert me about the power pack being rechargeable.
I will say that MineLab did send me an instruction manual via email but by then the bidding was already closed.
The bolt holding the coil to the shaft is SS with a carbon steel wing nut. Shouldn't that all be plastic?
Well, looks as though I am dead in (or out of) the water until I can power this thing up. <img src="/metal/html/shrug.gif" border=0 width=37 height=15 alt=":shrug"> <img src="/metal/html/help.gif" border=0 width=23 height=15 alt=":help">
