Whites Metal Detectors A little Nostalgia and Repairs

[Sol]

I think most of us who have been in the hobby for a few years will be very familiar with the Whites brand. In fact I "think" a Whites Beachcomber may have been my first machine or at least one of my first machines. If memory serves it had the "Savo Electronics" label on it and I think the year would have been 1977. Happy days indeed

However, time marches on and some brands have struggled in recent years. Unfortunately after a valiant struggle, Whites had succombed to financial realities and closed its doors.

I often receive emails from Whites users wanting repairs to their machines. So it is a good thing that Garrett stepped in and provided a little more longevity for the Whites brand.

Back in October 2020, Garrett Electronics acquired White’s Electronics, including the White’s trademarks, intellectual property, tooling, and other non-real estate assets.

As a part of the acquisition, Garrett provided owners with access to White’s manuals, while Centreville Electronics and Centreville Electronics NW provide repair and warranty services.
