carl? I know ya can help me put my coil back on my compass

[willrich]

once upon a time, I cut my wires off my coil and controll houseing and since then I lost the little connector in the middle, since then.
inside of my box is 4 wires comeing from the motherboard.
on my origional coil is 5 wires.
6 if you count the alumininum mylar type sheilding
do you know this machine? and the coil ?
compass yukon 771b or is it ib?
any ways I need to know the exact order one again that the coil wires go to the controll box.
can you help me with maybe a simple schamatic of the wire arangements?
I can send pic's of what I have, if you need.
I miss this old unit working.
it's the older compass 77ib with the rocker switch to turn it on 3 pole, 3 throw, shaped sorta like this--> _☻_
thanks carl for any help and try to get back to me

coil #2 diagram I have

this is sorta what I got.
kinda confuseing.
can ya tell which wire goes where?

Willrich,

Here is an "educated" guess.

The black and shield wires are connected together on the coil-side and connect to the black wire on the detector-side. The assumption here is that these leads or wires are "ground". You can connect one lead of a multimeter to ground or chassis of the Yukon, and the other lead to the black wire coming out of the Yukon, if the above assumption is correct, you should see a short or zero ohms.

Red sometimes looks like brown, this is often due to the color fading from exposure to heat [sun light], or chemical reactions. So it is likely that the red on the coil-side connects to the brown on the detector-side. In any case by process of elimination the red and brown wires are the only ones left over based on the first paragraph, so they most likely connect to each other.

Coil <--> Detector

white <--> white
green <--> green
red <--> brown
black/shield <--> black

Again, the above is an educated guess.

thank you andy, but I wish I had the origional schmatic.
theese detectors used to find good stuff, now this one's just colecting dust till I can patch it back together.
I have 2 of them, a little different then the other, otherwise I'd know exactly which wires went where.
I cut the wires long ago to make a hip mountable unit out of it, and now I just have a shelf mounted one lol
I want to refab it to get it back up and finding $
the old connector I think was 5 pin. it's been like 10 years since I preformed the coil sergery upon it, and since then I've forgot
I hate to just toss this one overboard
