The legendary King Arthur brandished a magic sword,
Excalibur, from which we take our company name. With this
unique weapon in his hands, he could not be vanquished.
Although Excalibur Electronics can’t claim the magical
secrets of Merlin, King Arthur’s court wizard, sometimes our
patented technology may make it seem as if we could. The
New York Times Electronic Garden Expert is another unmatched
innovation of Excalibur Electronics.
We make you think.
