[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 318605, member: 3960"] We took the SDC and 4500 into The Prospectors Pick in Bunbury. The SDC had a stuffed audio plug and LOTS of wear and tear. I didn't buy the 4500 from them so it cost me $50 freight to send it away. The warranty repair (although not tested) on the SDC was outstanding. Minelab replaced all the worn out components connecting the lower shaft to the coil. I had glued it all up and fitted a plastic bush to prevent the floppy coil. We never asked for that part to be repaired but it was all fixed for free :) The 4500 had the rubber gaskets on the control box hanging out. It came back just as bad so I took it back. Next time it came back looking all fixed for no extra cost. The gasket looks to have gaps where all somebody has done is slice off the bits that were hanging out and the screws look very well tampered with. Same as Nero-04 the sticker/seal has been sliced through and not repaired. I look at this as a very sloppy job either done by the Minelab workshop or by The Prospectors Pick. It's not good enough :mad: [/QUOTE]
