Selling my back up T2SE & Ultimate coil.  Still keeping my other T2.  My plan is to get a Deus and if I like it then I might sell my other T2.
I want about £625. It is in very good condition, no damage, covers etc.
Would consider a deal involving a Deus.

Also includes the standard T2 coil and the little 5" coil

You buy the Deus and give me the T2 for Christmas. How's that for a deal?  ;D

Please remember that bad language is not allowed in the forum!  ::)

Hmm let me think about that...OK no deal  ;D

Shucks; never mind!  ::)

Good luck with finding a far better deal though.  ;)

 :o  ??? I'd stick with the T2, especially as you will be able to upgrade it at the end of the month making it a lot quieter with more modes, better the devil you know.

"I'd stick with the T2, especially as you will be able to upgrade it at the end of the month"
How ???

Facebook, Fisher labs, look through it, they state that the F75 and the T2 will be upgadeable to the new DST version. Keep an eye on their website at the end of the month/begining of next month. https://www.facebook.com/FisherResearchLabs?hc_location=timeline (https://www.facebook.com/FisherResearchLabs?hc_location=timeline)
Scroll down to 25th september.

There has been a lot of questions about the ability to upgrade your existing F75 and F75LTD to that of the new Advanced Technology F75 and F75LTD and the answer is yes they can be upgraded. Stay tuned we will be announcing our upgrade program soon

Upgrade price is $309 (£200) with insured postage both ways to the States your looking at the better part of £260 ??? Has anyone else noticed that Teknetiks has disappeared from the Regton website?

They have also started selling Minelab stuff!  ;)

Not so, I sent my F75 off Thursday  with UPS, £100 including insurance to the value £1000. The upgrade is free if purchased after the 1st of july, and $159 before that date if it's an SE model. Fisher pay for the return shipping, you only pay $309 if it's the bog standard F75

I stand corrected it's worse than I thought not £260 but £294 >:(

294 pounds to make it quieter hey........or you could turn it down.......lol ;D

the new official uk dealer for teknetic metal detectors can be found at www.uneartheduk.co.uk (http://www.uneartheduk.co.uk).

Strange, so who has now got the "franchise"? Currently it's not Joan Allen. Crawfords or Detecnicks.

What the geoff is Digital Shield Technology and LCD Serialization  ???

All sounds very nice but £190 ish plus postage?

the Digital Shield Technology is just an improved shield against EMI, the LCD Serialization is just a readout of the serial number it also has a fast processor but like the Deus if you run it fast you cut the depth quite considerably ;)

Ah, I see.

200 quid for a few tweeks seems expensive. Wonder if these mods are added to the existing board or whether it's complete board replacement..

Too rich for my blood unfortunately  :(

I've got an old T2 which is a great machine but with power lines or electric fences it's nigh on useless. I presume that Fisher do the same mod for Teknetics machines but that price seems a bit ott to me.

Dusty I expect they just change boards as that's the cheapest way and the price is to deter rather than attract getting it done as they would rather sell you a new machine, as you say these are only tweaks just another add on to get you to part with your cash ;)

That makes me appreciate what XP have done for free with their Deus updates, which none of the other manufacturers have done to date. All the other major manufacturers have brought out an upgraded model and charged more for it !

So will XP soon enough, they have too as it's a micro hobby and so new models are a must or the manufacturers would go bust if the Deus had failed at breaking in to the US market you would probably have a new model already. Ironically the technology has not changed (and can't) since the late 70's and any improvements are indirect from other industry sectors which makes most new models a case of "if you can't blind them with science then baffle them with bull s__t ;)

I have no doubt that XP will bring out a new machine but unlike other makers it will be new. It won't be like Minelab, Garrett or Fisher releasing  a model and then later releasing a new improved version costing more and with only a couple of bells and whistles.

Funny you should mention baffle them with bulls*it. I read an interview with one of the guys who helped design the F75/T2 when asked what's the secret to selling metal detectors he said psychology..  ;D

Very true indeed, they just plant the seed and sit back and watch us brainwash ourselves ;)

Unfortunately you can't say that until it's been released, the Deus is a lovely machine to use being so light and very clever in it's compactness but there is nothing new about the system.

So that no-one else messages me, this detector is now sold  :)

Awe, shucks, all my hopes of a freebie are dashed!  :'(
