  • Compass SECRETS Booklet.............

    Now I took posts, and comments from Allan Cannon, who spent 15 years with Compass Electronics, who agreed with myself, on my comments on the SECRETS, which were the stories of the Compass ACCESSORIES and COMPASS Metal Detector models.........I called it SECRETS, as others did not know what I knew myself! Now many that made the posted remarks, are no longer on the earth, and Compass ELECTRONICS itself, is NO LONGER in business, and from what I heard, and it is not from me, the Compass Forum might not be in business anymore as well. I am not a member, so I do not know it myself, as I cannot enter that forum. So I am speculating on whether or not it is or is not in business.....If I am wrong on my guess, let me know and I will correct my speculation. So I took, the postings, Allan Cannons words, my experience and my information, and wrote this booklet which I then called COMPASS SECRETS Booklet. And since I wrote it, it is secured and can be read, but you cannot print it out with a printer... I hold the copyright on this booklet!!!!!!!!!!!

    Compass Secrets_S_001.PDFwrote an booklet on Kay Modgling, who was an early COMPASS metal detector user. She DUG each and every target UP, did not like using Discrimination you see. I got the photos of her, enhanced them, and since I collected all of that material, and wrote it, IT is copyrighted by myself, and is also SECURED against printing. You can read it, but cannot print any of it out... Kay Modgling Book_S_vs5.0.pdf

    Kays booklet, is a download right above, not down below......

    Now I used to find METEREORITES, wrote an booklet on them too. I found many, thought they were HOT ROCKS, so threw them away!!! Went to Denver, at the Museum of Natural History, was in the Meteorites section, looked closely, and realized I was discarding valuable METEORITES, throwing them away, found THREE more of them, so wrote a booklet on HOW to know if it is a Meteorite or not a Meteorite!!! I did enhanced the closeup photos of my 3 meteorites you see. Now I studied Geology at the University of Nebraska, but they never taught any lessons on METEORITES. I even lectured on Geology and on HISTORY of the national parks... Roomed with Edward Paul Abbey, the famous LATE author, who wrote a lot of NOVELS, Kirk Douglas was making his MOST FAMOUS movie on one of Abbey's books when I roomed with him....... And there you have it, right below, with my 3 Meteorites, two I found with Compass metal detector, the 3rd one I found with a Bounty Hunter Big Bud PRO SE PLUS unit. I talked to George Payne one day on the phone, he told me they made around 5 or so of that model, told me there were some in the shipping department, so I told George Payne, "connect me right now with shipping", and they only had 2 of them in stock in Shipping. I bought both of them, still own both of them. A few days later, TEK LTD went out of business!!!! I was contacted by IRS (Internal Revenue Service), they told me TEK LTD had a bad relationship, THEY DID not pay their INCOME TAXES....... So TEK went out of business, and I got 2 of only 5 of those models in existence. Not sure who ended up with the other 3 of them. Appears that it was a "souped up model", made a few of them, knowing IRS was going to seize TEK and Bounty Hunter in a few days........Now I have the information from that day, on the Big Bud Pro SPECIAL EDITION PLUS version, which TEK LTD, was right in the process of kicking out some of those special versions, with the remaining INVENTORY, before IRS seized the company, and shut down TEK LTD and Bounty Hunter. I was clued in by the IRS people you see so I know the story............Only 5 HOPPED UP versions, and I own TWO of them.........

    Now RADIO SHACK, I used to go there all the time, got my electronics parts there. Even bought their RARE booklets, they one day, were shut down, Went OUT OF BUSINESS~~~~ But I got their 5 RARE booklets. Scanned them, not protected anymore as they went out of business. No longer in existence. If you are looking for one of the 5 rare copies, let me know. I can put it into a .Pdf file. Now I bought them, paid for them myself, so I expect to be paid something for any of those RARE copies you see. But you see, if not, you will not find any of them out in the world..........

        Well on the very top row, are the FOUR RARE Mini Booklets, and I definitely do not possess all of the booklets created by Radio Shack over the past years.
        I admit it. But at least I do have some of them. I really liked Radio Shack, and I do admit I REALLY MISS Radio Shack today........

        Since you do have those photos, do you have all of them yourself??? I know I do not have all of them. Some of those I never even knew existedt!!!! Now
        I said 5 rare booklets, got those 4 on the top row, and a few others...

          Now in the past years, a company came out with a metal detector, called Sem-Tech. It was designed by one of the NASA engineers, before he left the metal detector industry, and went to work FULL TIME for the US government. One day, the PRESENTATION unit, from Sem-Tech, was offered by that engineer on eBay! It had the wooden presentation case which came with it from Sem-Tech. I got a photo of it, enhanced it for extreme clarity. It also had the
          Compass "GROUND CONDITION CONTROL" embedded inside its electronics. That kind of interested me. Some Engineer had reverse engineered the Compass Yukon 77b version, and copied their Ground Condition Control
          "circuitry", as I found an article later on, on the Sem-Tech unit, and there it was, an explanation of the Compass GROUND CONDITION CONTROL...

          Here is an enhanced photo of that presentation cased Sem-Tech model...... Now Sem-Tech has also vanished from history just like Compass Electronics vanished from history!!! Ohhhhhh! Altra! I have seen your name a lot in metal detector discussions. Thanks for reading my posts. I am impressed with what your postings of knowledge...

            I like to trade factory schematics for other factory schematics, with metal detector engineers. I keep all trades confidential, so there is no harm to the engineers. I then begin working restoring the factory schematics. I turn them from blue prints into crisp black on white paper schematics. In the past, I did a story on what I did in booklet format.. I was a Printer's Devil for Bradford Robison Publishing Company back in 1954, and they trained me for a year. Then my mother bought the bar she had been working for, and needed my help, so I resigned and moved back to my home town. I worked in her bar for 3 years, taking it from a medioric bar, into first place in the country in liquor and bar sales. Then I came home and wife was gone along with my kids. Tried to accept that, but could not. Missed the kids too much. So left and followed the wife. Best thing I ever decided to do with my life I later found out...

            Here is the small booklet I did in regard to what the Semtech metal detector is about...

                Thanks, but I am only interested in the Mims notebooks for the electronic parts I was using back in those days. I used to stop in each week and see what they had in stock on the Mims notebooks. From what you posted, I see I DO NOT possess ALL of the Mims notebooks, but I do possess those that interested myself. Back in those older times, I used to make things... Back then, the Mims notebooks were cheaper to buy then they are today!!!!!!! I used to build and sell KITS, and printed out and sold my own electronic schematics and electronic booklets.... You see I was running a mail order business back then.... I was making around $5,000 to $10,000 (each month for 5 straight months) in sales, and was shipping each day at UPS to the buyers. I used to go to the U.S. Govt auctions out at Fort Carson Army Base. It was the best of times compared to todays times!!! Today inflation has increased prices by kicking up "potential" values....... I think they used to refer to it as "blue sky" prices back then. I did not accept credit cards back then, only accepted CASH!!!

                Today everything is priced higher then it is really worth!!! They call it inflation, I call it stealing by raising prices... Who is right? I think I am..................
