Geotech Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Karbowski was literally making them in his barn. When he died, Jimmy Normandi got all the remnants and had Roy Van Epps (the last surviving entity of the old Discovery Electronics) building them at the Discovery Ghost Factory. Roy made enough off Bigfeet to occasionally buy dinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvanwho Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 Hmm, Tesoro seems to have these coils, wonder if they can be modified to work on Whites machines...? 3x18" Widescan (includes scuff and lower pole) S-3x18W-SW-LITE-E 3' $199 $16,listed as a 5 pin connector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted May 1, 2016 Author Share Posted May 1, 2016 Tesoro coils can't be adapted to White's detectors. I actually bought one and mailed to Dan Guyer at White's (may he rest is peace) in hopes he could modify it to work on the MXT. No go unfortunately because of how Tesoro designs their detector/coil combinations to work together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobill Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 Steve, I'll keep posting on the forums until I find a seller. Somebody must have one collecting dust in their closet. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
