Hmm...a whites machine whites say they can't repair? All I wanted was the boots replaced and a new set of headphones. The guy I talked to said they didn't have any parts left for this model....ie. new boots to make it waterproof again. He said my only option was to have it changed over to the new PI case; a new coil; and headphones. Basically; a whole new detector. Cost: a whopping 269 bucks. OUCH. I need a water machine; and with the initial cost of 235 I paid for the machine; I was almost to a new one anyway. Needless to say; I will buy a Tesoro for sure next time. Be careful on buying older units; unless it's a Tesoro!
