Title: Wanted Minelab Musketeer or Sovxs2a battery pack and rear control box cover Post by: DEUSDAVE on February 10, 2016, 11:59:35 AM Hi all. I am after a Minelab Musketeer re-charge battery pack or standard battery setup a complete non working control box or housing would also do also I need a battery sliding cover to conceal the battery. If you have any off these items you could let me have contact me with the price thanks.

I have a friend good on electronics I will pass this info on to him and see if he can sort for me.
