It’s possible that the testers have completely different units than the ones the general public will get That’s the basic fact of the matter. The only units that matter will be the final shipping product, and anything else, including what I have now, will end up in the trash bin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s exactly why the testing part is so important, what you guys did was groundbreaking but you had no control over what came out after it. I am OK waiting though, I’m not planning on changing anything for a while as I really haven’t done mine any justice in the field. I’m really happy that I was able to get it updated and I am getting a new round plastic ice cream cover part for it as well. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abenson Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 This late in the year I'll wait until spring. If I could have had one for Diggin in Virginia and tried it out for relics it would have been worth getting one. But not going to sit on it all Winter now. Will probably pick one up about April if they can keep them in stock if not no biggie I can wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit dodgy and confusing but I understand why they've done it that way. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A deposit is perfectly ok, but I’d prefer not paying full if a dealer can go with that as well, definitely the way to go for honest to goodness service! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasong Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 I hope someone who does lots of testing in terms of comparing performance between machines gets one and reports back with direct comparisons to the 6000. In particular I'm curious about EMI at max gain and depth. I was all for getting one myself, but now that I have a working 6000, it's kinda hard to justify taking the loss on it unless there is a compelling performance reason to make it worth it, especially since I'd be using in AZ where depth matters more often. So I guess I'm holding off for now. This thread makes me curious with the update and depth increase though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of the well-known dealers here have done that, definitely the way to go for honest to goodness service! I believe a dealer on this forum is doing exactly that. I’m not going to say but a quick search will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
