I don't have one in the shed at all Rasheede, and I assume most people would just get a new shaft for theirs if they had come to their senses after wrapping it around the nearest tree ,.... Imho you would probably find it easier to buy an entire machine as to find a control box for one, as everyone with one is either using theirs or intending to use it on their soonest day off ,... perhaps the ML factory would be your best bet to acquire a control box.
How on Earth did you come by the rest of one minus the control box, now that's a story I'm sure we'd all like to follow with keen interest ,.... I recon it could a been accidentally myself, but I have been known to be wrong on occasion (although my missus would say I've understated myself a tad there). :lol:
I hope someone on here can help you out, maybe there is a collector of the above models on PA somewhere who has an old dusty shed full of control boxes and bent shafts all over the place ,... you can bet your old nellie on one thing if that's the case though ,.... I bet they've never posted a picture of a find on the entirety of the WWW in their life ,.... EVER !

Considering the price of what the extras could be bought for id say you would have to pay at least 70% of what a complete unit would cost.
Example . New gpx4500 = $3500 minus 30% ($1050) = $2450
I think you will find it hard anyway to get a box only unless you bought a 2nd unit and resold the extra bits.
Im still puzzled as to why you would want the box only , my suspicious mind is telling me you plan on trying to pull it apart and copy it ?

i decided to give the box a wash ready for photos and it melted
My apologies Rasheede for not taking this seriously .
I am interested in why you are wanting just a control box ?
Is it for an invention you have made ?
, or is it to repair another one ?
Or is it to dismantle to copy ?
Or maybe is it to be used to con someone ?
I am always sceptical about new members wanting or offering unusual items. 9 times out of 10 its a con.
But if you are serious good luck and hopefully you find the box you seek.

It appears he has bought a chinese copy that has died and he has been unsuccessful in finding any warranty contact from the Ebay seller.
yep I looked up his original post from October has a picture , All in all he should cut his loses and get a brand new minelab machine in my opinion .GaryO said:
Thats right , even with a genuine box he would still be running a non genuine coil which may not even be compatible .aussiefarmer said:
