Will Whites be servicing older detectors and honoring new detector's warranties? I would be leary of buying a new detector. The last two newer Whites I bought needed sent in for repairs. The older XLT's,MXT's and DFX's I have owned were bullet proof. It's a sad time for this one time "king of the mountain".

I'm still waiting to find out if they will honor the warranty on one of the coils I got with my GM24K.

Actually, it's Centreville, not Centerville, and I'm waiting to see how they handle my warranty issuer. Paul at Centreville seems a good guy, so we'll see what happens.

If it's any Consolation, Centreville does quality Work. I had my Screen replaced on my
Spectrum (xlt) and Never had 1 problem. Wish you the Best!!!

I spoke to Whites the week they announced their manufacturing was ceasing. I actually had my V3! there for a screen replacement and was concerned. I spoke to several folks on the call. All were very professional. I also purchased a new MX Sport in March and was concerned about the warranty. They said Bob at Centerville Electronics would handle any warranty issues. They are still standing behind their machines during this difficult time. I am seeing many popular Whites machines on the big box sites selling out. I fore one feel very bad for the company. But, you can't change the color and sticker and call it new. I have used Whites since the 1970's and really enjoyed each of them.
Hope this info helps.

Hi silver, when you sent your XLT in, did it have two white lines in screen? I have a nice XLT and it has the two little lines in screen, don't hurt it any, still works as it should, and the lines you can't even see hardly when hunting. Thanks flintstone

Whites re-opened the Oregon repair center. Holly told me they would stay open for 3 or 4 weeks. They sent me a new coil, under warranty, for the falsing 6 x 10 that came with my GM24K.
At my request, they also returned the bad coil, so I could try and repair it to use as a backup. Same old solid Whites service. They also gave me a great deal on a handle and lower rod for a GM2, 3 or V-Sat.
