I happened across a conversation regarding the Sun Ray X-1 probe earlier today.
It was asked if the rumor was true about the discontinuation of the X-1 probe for Minelab?
Ralph of Sun Ray responded on March 22 of 2013...
That is true. Minelab has raised the price of the upper shafts to the point that we would have to charge over $250.00 for the completed X-1 probe. Add to that, that our production costs and parts have also increased and we have been absorbing those costs for a couple of years now. With reduced demand we can no longer purchase parts in the volume that we used to, further increasing our costs. We will continue to honor warranty and other repairs as we are reserving replacement parts for that purpose.
