Title: How's about a F5... Post by: Dusty on October 29, 2011, 08:27:02 AM With an 30x25cm SEF coil, wouldn't that be similar to the 8000 with the F75/T2 coil which incidentally couldn't find for the F5....
Any thoughts? Title: Re: How's about a F5... Post by: Chef Geoff on October 29, 2011, 08:43:33 AM The F5 is another machine that's much underrated in this country as the F75 has proven itself to be a bit of a silent killer on hammered coins, but it is a very good machine in it's own right. I wouldn't worry about the 1" difference on the coil size and if I was going to go bigger then I would probably go for a new Nel coil.

It's been quite widely reported in the US that the F5 isn't super deep and at best silvers @ 6" Isn't a big deal really but it's nice to know that a SEF or Nel coil will improve depth and or sensitivity somewhat. Why the Nel over SEF Geoff, thought SEF were the dogs sensitive parts?!? Title: Re: How's about a F5... Post by: Chef Geoff on October 29, 2011, 01:53:30 PM Oh they are but the new Nel's are too and seem to be a bit more pro active in regard to sensitivity which is a big bonus on a medium frequency machine (could be a nightmare on a high frequency though) Plus being 12x13 inches they have that little extra on depth but still quite light.

Title: Re: How's about a F5... Post by: Chef Geoff on October 29, 2011, 05:32:15 PM No your going the wrong way, XP 250 is a 4.9?kHz machine. The F5 runs at 7.8kHz so you need to be looking at more the 14kHz+ machines
