Hy Sven1, as far as the S-shaft upgrade... I did the straight shaft conversion. Here's what I did...

Sven that's terrific... I love this stuff and the way you took it upon yourself to improve the Blisstool and to help others do it too... THANKS AGAIN. Gerry

My apologies Sven1. I deleted Google Chrome on my Desktop computer and it caused me some problems. Thanks much!

Thanks again Sven

I did that with my V3 years ago… it wasn’t so bad. The buyer was happy. If and when I’m able to upgrade the V6 I’ll get my brother out with it… he has a hard time with the typical pinpoint buttons on metal detectors because of RA.

Thank you, I really appreciate it Sven.

Sven, That sounds like a great option and you really got me thinking… it sounds as if you have an electronics background… would I be correct? If not… even more impressive. Would you have a part number for the gain pot that you used… I have enough electrical experience to be slightly-less than dangerous. Thanks, Gerry

Thanks KAC, That’s a good recommendation. I just put it here because of the interest shown in the Blisstool. I have no problem keeping it in my collection, it’s just that I thought that if someone wanted to put the Bliss to better, more regular use because they love the machine… then I would let it go. See, if I put it in the “Classifieds”, then I’d have be prepared to ship it, and I did that once before and it’s a pain. This was just a casual offer to anyone interested for the reason I offered above… I still love the machine, so it’s no big deal if I ever sold it… IF THAT MAKES ANY SENSE? Gerry

I know that this is an older post... I have a Blisstool V6 with the three coils that were offered that I'd be willing to part with... It works great and is my fastest hunting machine if I want to cover a lot of ground... it's the way to go. I just haven't been detecting a bunch lately and have two eTracs with numerous coils, a Teknetics G2+ with multiple coils and a Equinox with several coils, three Minelab coils and two Coiltek coils. Anyhow, I'm not really interested in shipping it. I live in S E Michigan (48183) and if someone is interested and would like to see it in-person let me know. It's in very good condition and I'm thinking $450. Gerry

GW, I'm glad to hear that you're satisfied. I've loved mine since receiving it. It offers so many benefits over the OEM shaft that it puts the original to shame. I, sometimes, wish that Minelab would put much more thought in their shafts, with portability, ergonomics and usages (ie water/land) as major considerations in their design. Gerry

George.... You’re quite welcome. Gerry

Steve, I did the same thing months ago... when I first started looking into the Golden Mask shafts... I got the same results. Now I have had quick responses in the past from him... but regarding this subject (Golden Mask shaft conversion kit)... not so much. Not implying anything, he’s always been a great guy... just, maybe, this project didn’t interest him. Gerry

Geo, I haven’t corresponded with him lately... I’ve sent him a message about your issue... I’ll let you know as soon as I hear back from him. Gerry

Thanks for the thought. I live in S. E. Michigan if you’re ever near the Detroit area drop me a line.

Good deal. I’m glad you made it best for you. I did consider making an adapter for it (the original arm cuff) but after using it as it was, I skipped it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
