I made a post that your looking for the manual at the Compass forum along with a note about trying to register.

Should be the same. I don't think Nokta/Makro would change pinouts within a line of detectors. Which could cause production mix-ups.......between models

If it came with toggle switch boot covers, that used to me mine. Not many of those Euros floating around.

I have all the useful information regarding the Blisstool saved in a single file. It is extensive! I have uploaded the 2.8GB file to the Cloud, anyone interested can download the file using this link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/147_g6Nm2W97QTWiTvvQqi6bT6q6hrs-1?usp=sharing

Here is what I have for the RB7 D-rb7 page 3.pdf D-rb7 page 1aa.pdf D-rb7 Page 2.pdf

Haven't posted in awhile. My hobbies seem to regressing back to those of my younger years. Got back into fishing, fly fishing, model boats and using detectors like the ones that were used way back when. Parted with my remaining Tesoros and down to using a vintage White's 5900 Di Pro SL big black box version like the Blue/Gray model. A heavy beast dinosaur that could be a arm buster with all those big batteries in the battery box. For $35US, made a good score? Didn't know, as it came with no battery box and the meter was broken. Everything else looked fine. Also found, it had a very bad adjustment pot. Started off looking for a meter, tougher to find a stock replacement. Managed to hunt down a better meter that can be adapted to fit and work. Had to do some meter housing mods to get it to fit. May look a bit odd but, it works great!! The bad pot was replaced, took care of that issue. That left one more major problem, a new C-cell battery box and the amount of weight it added. Decided to go with a small lightweight 2500mah Lithium-ion recharge-able battery pack. Saves about a pound of the detector weight. When it was all re-assembled, and with an attached 9.5 coil, it was powered up and bench tested. For an old machine it was impressive. Worked perfect. Then re-bench tested using a smaller 6" search coil. Again impressive, just like the Blue/Gray version I owned years ago. Planned on selling it and just keeping a couple light weight Micro Max Tesoro detectors. What changed my mind was the fact that it was now light-weight, just a bit more than a Tesoro and balanced perfectly with the 6" coil. No longer felt like a arm busting heavy anchor........After a few months, the Tesoros found a new home.

I was determined to get it. Bench tested it and works as it should. Pretty interesting with the Disc and Notch control. Because shipping was going to be so expensive to ship with the upper handle rod due to its length. I opted to have just the control box and search coil shipped, since I already have an extra handle section and lower rod. Came with a brown 8" search coil.

Just what I started looking for today, for a Tesoro that is missing two for the battery cover.

I don't have a MXT schematic. Do have a couple pictures of the PCB, snapshotted the area front and back. because there is no trimpot. It might be as easy as replacing R28 with an external pot. Carl Moreland from Geotech could give you a better answer.

There should be a volume control trimpot on the circuit board, you could remove it and replace it with an external pot of the same value. The value will be a code on the trimpot. This would be the correct way to do it. The volume control will also control the volume of the headset when it is plugged into the detector. The diagram is from a White's detector.

You can try a 5K or a 10K Audio taper pot. One will one will silence the speaker at 1/2 a turn and the other at a full turn of the pot Keep it simple and use this diagram to wire the pot. An connect to the wires that run to the speaker.
