captainhastings Posted December 16, 2020 Report Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) Now they have stopped making them they are at a premium. Just keep eyes open on FB or ebay Edited December 16, 2020 by captainhastings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonty Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 As the Captain says,, since they recently stopped manufacturing the mk 3 finders people have keyed onto this and are selling them for a fortune. If you see any reasonable mk 1 finders you can get them serviced/calibrated for around £25 so you could factor that into your costing. I could pass you on the details of the guy who did a superb job mine if you go down the Mk1 route. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
