Nice find, thanks  for sharing!!!  "D"

Hello everyone,

   I know it's been a while since I posted anything, but I've been periodically checking in absorbing the great information this forum has to offer. Anyhow, regarding the aftermarket mono headphone adapter mentioned in various threads. I just bought a pair on Amazon  Prime for $6.99 with two day free shipping.  Upon receiving them I immediately tried them on the NOX 800's control head and WM-08.  It fit perfectly without any altercations and worked just like it's  suppose to when used with my aftermarket Sun Ray Pro Gold!!! The sound was clear and crisp and there was no audible signal coming from the detectors external speaker.  Hope I'm posting this in the right thread, if not I'm sure Steve will put it where it's suppose to go.  Below I've provided the URL, pic and description... HTH and HH

My comment was not aimed at you Darryl in any way at all. When I address people directly I do so by quoting them or addressing them in my post, as I did just now. I did move your post here because I do not want any new threads started on this subject matter. My post was just one last time trying to offer a tip that could get people a machine faster than being number 42 in line someplace.

My apologies Steve, I misunderstood your meaning and I humbly apologize. I haven't been on the forum for sometime now and was unaware of your wanting everything in one spot which I now understand why. Once again I'm sorry for being surly in my previous post. I suppose these 16 and 18 hour shifts are catching up with me. Once again, I was out of line and hope you will except my apologies. You do a great job with the forum and I'm sure there's hiccup's occasionally and I hate that I had to be one...

I can tell you all right now it is a fact that many smaller dealers have very short lines with people able to get 800s on the next shipment. The largest, most obvious outlets have the longest lines. That’s my last tip and comment on all this.

Steve, I was not trying to start any problems I was merely asking a question! Every time I call I get the run around. Just yesterday my sales rep emailed me finally and said there were 7 people ahead of me and they had no idea when the next shipment would arrive. 

Now I'm seeing on a previous post that a member has been told all Novembers orders have been filled. If that's so then my order was forgotten about or my sales rep has no Idea what he's talking about, or the ship arrived and all orders were filled today, but no email has been sent to me confirming this, so that's why I asked the question. I'm wanting to know if Kellyco and / or my sales rep are intentionally misleading me.

Thank for your time...

Has anyone  ordered an Equinox 800 from Kellyco "on or after November 28th 2017"  received their detector as of yet? I'm just wondering, I feel like I've been getting the runaround with Kellyco, and no, I've yet to receive my detector from them!!!! Thanks...

'"D"

Yesterday evening I emailed my Kellyco Sales rep, who has been keeping me up to date on my equinox order.  Well earlier  I received this response from him and thought I'd pass it along to those of you who ordered their Equinox from Kellyco. I hope this info will be helpful to some of you...

Hi Darryl,

     Yes, lots of folks excited about the 800's, we have received 2 shipments so far but small quantities and we are still shipping out September orders.

     Minelab have stated that they hope to fulfill all pre-orders by the end of March, so hopefully we will be receiving larger quantities in the next coming weeks.

Great finds, I'm glad to see the NOX is doing her job!!! Congrats again!!!

Awesome finds and I'm really glad to hear you're liking your Nox!!! 

"D" 

Terry, I'm sure those that ordered before November will certainly get there's first, or at least that's how I imagine it would go... I sent Steve G. a copy of the email, if you'd like to read it send me your email address and I'll forward it to you... "D"

From KELLYCO, Terry.

Congrats on getting your new Equinox!!!  Got my email day before yesterday from my Kellyco rep and he said the first batch had been shipped to Kellyco and as soon as they arrive they'll ship the November pre-orders first and you guessed it!!! I pre-ordered and paid for mine in November so hopefully I'll have it within the next week or so!!!  Once again Congrats!!!!

Wishing each and everyone a very Merry Christmas from my family to yours!!!

Wanting to wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas from my family to yours!!!

I don’t know about the rest of you but I’m going to have a ball playing with it. I’ll be happier than a new Rooster in a hen home when I get it.

Having worked on the leading edge technology for IBM.  I know how hard it is to get every thing right.  I just hope that some of the first production units are given to people to test that have never even seem or touch one before.  Because it is possible that they will found problems with fresh eyes. But hopefully there are no problems to be found.

Well you'll definitely have a pair of fresh eye's all the way around with me!!! 

I just hope you veteran minelab users don't get aggravated with these fresh new eyes asking questions and seeking advise.

Finally!!!! That makes my fat very happy!!!

Thanks for the info,

 Maybe some top secret Ninja stuff going on

Does anyone know if a VA card will work?  I'm about ready to pre-order an 800 (for Hubby).  The only thing I worry about is if I pre-pay for one then for some reason Dealer #1 doesn't get enough on the first shipment and I have to wait for mine.  Meanwhile, Dealer #2 gets a whole pallet-load of them, only I can't get one because Dealer #1 has my cash tied up. 

I ordered mine from Kellyco and they were very flexible when it came to what information was needed for the veterans discount. I can't say they'll allow the VA card or not, but it's worth a try and it would surprise me if they refused to except it, but who knows. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful...

Never could find my DD214, but I located my DD256A, Honorable Discharge Certificate for picture frame display, anyhow Kellyco had no problem excepting it in lieu of my missing DD214...

At the end of the day I am burning up twenty years of accumulated reputation and going out on a limb on this one due to the absolute faith I have in the machine and the company behind it delivering a product that the vast majority of you will love. If I prove to be wrong my reputation will be toast and I will have mud all over my face and more. I will have proven the trolls right. These are things I take seriously and which I considered long and hard before deciding to get on board with this thing like I have. I am in fact being opportunistic in hitching my wagon up to what I see as a winning horse for a long and fun ride. 

That'll never happen Steve, everyone of us has hung our hat's on something we believed in, an in my opinion I respect that man whether he's right or wrong over a man who straddles the fence!!! If you believe in something by George stand behind it 100%. If all goes well then you can pat yourself on the back, if it goes south, oh well, you didn't build it, but you stepped up and let people know you believed in it, so again pat yourself on ya back!!!

I'm just beginning to know you an I like a man who lay's it all out on the line and stands up for what he believes in.  Since I've joined this forum I've met some really good folks and learned a thing or two along the way.  Your past experience and honesty stands for who you are, and I'm betting hands down you've picked a winner this time, so let the haters be haters and lets keep on doing what we do best, share our combined knowledge, help each other when we can and keep our friendship going!!!

You make the right move but just to let you know that many has made the same move.

Maybe the wait won’t be too much longer. I didn’t think it would been as long as it has now. It’s like a trip when you get on it you ride it to the end. 

I’m going to be like a sore pimple on Minelab’s butt in I want to know the price of the coils?haha

Chuck

Thanks Chuck,  I have no problem with the wait as long as what Steve has pointed out, that Minelab will look at what people are wanting and expecting an they make the changes and tweak the machine, that is if it needs it and provide a quality unit that will stand out above all in its class. Once again thanks Chuck for the input and advise, it's alway welcome by me,  after all isn't this what the intent of this forum is all about, to share thoughts, advice and ideas? Let's hope other's do the same... "D" 

Thanks Steve, I totally understand your point and upon receiving the Equinox I'll be a part of the Equinox family learning the machine and its potentials, discovering and reporting any bugs, which with all new things you can expect and hopefully help make this the machine we're all hoping it to be...
