Yes, this is a Garrets forum, but I am a Garretts fan so I thought I would ask here.
I just started MDing 2-3 months ago when I got a Ace 300 at a auction for $5. I liked MDing so much I done research and ended up buying a new Ace 250. I seen it was the best MD I could get for the money I had to spend, and I found out that was right. So as you can see I started off a Garrett fan. Also, I got a older Garrett Sea Hunter comeing my way next week from a great guy on this forum, tks Jim. But I am not going to pass up any good buys on other brands, especially if they go cheap. Got to build my arsenal like everyone else has, even if its late model MD's...hehehehe.....
The reason for this post is this Sat. mourn there is a estate auction that is going to sell a older Whites. I emailed the auctioneer and had him send me some specs. He wrote back with this info: It is a White's brand; Coinmaster Series 3 2000/D; Mfg in Sweet Home Oregon, #97386; Pat #4293816. It appears to be in very good shape and the wife says it works.
My 250 works great but I thought if I can pick it up cheap enough I would. Everyone else has a variety of MDs, so I thought I would start with vintage MD's first. What I was wondering is what a 20+yr old Whites 2000/D S3 MD is worth, if it works that is. I plan on taking some batteries to test it out.
From what I have research, somewhere between $50-100. Am I about right?
