Anyone have an idea what's a fair price for a decent 1266X ? So far I have found some for $375 ----$450🤣1st Texas says sorry no parts maybe that's the reason ??Can anyone know the difference between the 1265 x and 1266 x ?Looks like the conc.8" coil on the 1265 x would work better than the spider coil on the 1266 x ?

Well, been looking for a 9.5"d.d. coil for my 2.68 Simplex. All I hear is I have to upgrade to be able to use the 8.5 or 9.5 by nokta.Well ,guess what found a new 9.5"x 5" d.d. by NEL for my simplex and its perfect🙂 The F-70 does great with my three coils the 11"x7" ; 9.5",5'' shooter mostly use the smaller coils and planning on keeping it for a while.All this new detector technology is not for me at 80 years of age.Saw a super so call 1266x which was use by nasa its $1200.00 and they make it sound like it can pull chinese up by their gold teeth its at flea-Bay.Check it out. -

Will report the results as soon as it gets here I already have acor's 9.5" on my Fisher F-70 and works great and separates like it should. Can you tell me all the new advantages when you upgrade to 2.77 & 2.78. Thank you---William -

OOOPS,forgot to ask what happens if you chose to use a Nel or Cor's 9.5" x 5" instead nokta coils? I remember when I purchased the Simplex 2.68 at that time the Nels and cor's coils were all ready out for the 2.68 The 9.5"coils were being sold by east coast forum. -

Good mercy just got the message straight from NOKTA😲😥 Its all over ,but the scream Now what? So no other coil will help?For an old dude like me Going on 81 ,guess just ride it out with the 2.68.Is it that much difference besides depth?This Simplex is New old stock of 1.5 years and has not hit the dirt except for my coin garden! That's what happens when you spend to much time in Hospitals.Hmmmm,whats the next move keep it or sell it. -
