Sinclair Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I dont know if this has been posted before - I just found a minelab sub-website, which lists some service parts and their numbers for various minelab machines including the equinox: http://parts.minelab.com/default.asp Equinox 800: http://parts.minelab.com/category-s/256.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Kind of handy but odd. The site was first noticed just over a year ago. It looks like a fantastic effort to make parts easily obtainable for Minela detectors. Only problem - no progress in last year that I can see. You still can’t register with the site to gain acesss for ordering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Jip, I saw that, too How ever - I was searching for "plugger" shaft lock alternatives, as shipping to germany costs more than the part itself... and found it handy to know the spare part number for the original cam lock. Now I can ask some german dealers for a price.. Just an example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I agree - just being able to see a parts breakdown and get part numbers is a great thing. Hopefully the site will allow for customer parts sales in the future but dealers usually fight that sort of thing since it cuts them out of the loop. It may be this is a dealer only site “by invitation only”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 What's also interesting: "Want to fix it yourself? Check out our DIY guides.." For the equinox they've probably intended to publish a guide for the software update process and for replacing the battery: https://parts.minelab.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=265 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alluminati Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 If you want those pluggers style clamps, look for a place that sells carbon and kevlar tubes, they usually have those clamps in various sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done that for 1-2h, but haven't found something over here There are some tripod clamps which would fit, but they're too heavy. My goal is to make the machine a little bit lighter, because I am having problems with my hand after this season (been out A LOT).. the grip angle doesn't seem to be perfect for me How ever - I'll probably bite the bullet and order some from overseas. It'll make a good winter project to mod the Nox and build a new coin tumbler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
