Now I have the story of Whites Electronics..............

[Melbeta]

Years ago, Ken White SR, sent to me his story of how and when he started Whites Electronics. I took it, and re-wrote it for my own use back then. Some of you might want to read what Ken
White SR said, so I attach it here. Now back in that time, I secured it, not sure what the password was though, so it is read only right now. But Carl has the GOOSE stuff, so he can make
it printable again if he wants to...

Sorry for the slow reply Tom, was going over material searching for the earliest White's BFO metal detector model.

Here's what I found to be one of the earliest model's if not the first, it was the Treasure Master BFO 1960 maybe even 1959, I read a testimony from a customer dated April 16, 1960. Will enclose a picture of the customer holding the Treasure Master and will add another pic same BFO for advertisement, this model had a leather strap for the handle.

The shaft was mounted directly underneath the housing, Karl von Mueller spoke highly on the model and even mentions he wouldn't trade this outfit for any other on the market.

My oldest Whites BFO are not as old as I thought, Based from what I read my three oldest OreMaster Gold Master models are one 1962 and two 1963 models.

This week, picked up another Whites BFO, it is a 1965 model with three coil setup and like it's older OreMaster brother it too takes a 67.5 volt battery. But only one set of 1.5 volt and a 9-volt battery. The older models only used one 67.5 volt and two sets of 1.5 battery volt setup no 9-volt battery.

The 1965 BFO works, but it's much bigger and heavier than the earlier OreMaster BFO which is odd Whites was making them heavier in the years to follow after the 1962 & 1963 models? Instead of making them lighter they made them heavier mid sixties, I know for a fact around 1967 they were starting to make them lighter because I have other Whites BFO models from that era.

First two pictures are of the 1960 Whites Treasure Master BFO, third picture are my four earliest Whites BFO. From Left to right (1962-1963-1963-1965), all of these work, each have their own 67.5 volt battery setup.

Each also have their own set of wooden coils, (3.5", 6", 12", 18"). Guess I'll have to start searching for the 1960 model, With my luck it'll be searching for a needle in a hay stack. PAUL (CA)

Then I am sticking an enhanced photo of a Whites older Geiger Counter, it is an ADV of Ken White SR, explaining the particular photo.....I think it was from 1955 you see. Should be interesting to read!!!

And I mentioned a 1938 photo of Whites OIL LIGHT unit, and here it is right below:

My oldest Whites photo, is from 1938, and it is a photo of a White's OIL LIGHT, and I enhanced it as well. Enjoy!!!
It is above these words... I am still looking for my 1959 photo of Whites first BFO machine... Actually is NOT below, but is way above these words........

Here is a enhanced photo of Whites GOLD metal detector too...


I do have an enhanced photo of Ken White SR, with a DUEL METER detector, but I do not know which machine, if it was his first BFO, or what. If anyone knows what
it is, let me know in this posting area...

I also have a scan of the first Whites metal detector catalog, in my files, and I am going to stick it in here right below....Now I did this many many years ago, and it
is an PDF file, and since this internet computer does not have PDF software on it, I do not know what I put into this file. But it is here for all to look at!
