    Thank You!!!

    Question on pin outs:
    Pots:
    Ground balance on board as marked for pot pin out?
    Sens on board as marked for pot pin out?
    Disc P1D--pot pin 1
    Disc P2D--pot pin 2
    Disc P3D--pot pin 3

    -----------------------------------------
    Tesoro coil vs. RX & TX board pin outs
    A=?
    B=?

    Sven,


    Coil:
    A -> 5
    B -> 1
    C -> 3
    D -> 4

    Sens:

    Pot connector 3 ->3
    Pot connector 2 ->2
    Pot connector 1 ->1

    GB:
    Pot Connector 3 -> PCB 2
    Pot Connector 2 -> Ground
    Pot Connector 1 -> N/C

    Be careful adjusting the GB pot as there is a sometimes a null in the middle of the adjustment range. One side of the adjustment , the counter clockwise direction (the correct side) will give a double beep on ferrite. The other side of the null will reject quarters and silver.

    Hope this helps!

        Double check me on the GB. I have mine wired like a conventional GB pot. In other words, increasing (clockwise direction) GB is like "turning up the volume" where counter clockwise will make it go quiet.

        Alternately, you can short the open end of the GB pot to the wiper.

          I got a question for you all, I have the Ground balance on a 100K cheap china multi turn Pot that is located on the face plate, so there is a wire from the circuit board to the pot and if I touch it, it makes the detector beep! should I replace said wire, with a shielded wire and ground it on the board ? im worried its effecting the over all performance in discrimination.
