Getting more and more interested in this machine. Comments like "from what I gathered F1266 more than anyone I liked.In second place Eldorado and the Bandit. Classic is not impressed with his work. Gold and Terminator were only interested in manufacturing and tuning. Now, lying on the bookshelf with trash" by GSL and "the coolest" by vlaser I have high hopes
Been using my 1260-X and really like it. The sound really suits me. At the end of its depth limit every sweep over the target gives a beep sweep speed does not matter. Unlike my other detectors which sometimes beep and sometimes not. Its more like detecting with the IDX in all metal mode but its only detecting ferrous objects.
Seems to loose less depth in the ground over any other detector. If it air test a coin at 12" and I bury it at 12" it still an easy target.
Been looking at http://www.md4u.ru/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=1291&start=425 there is at least 4 board layouts. Trying to find the one that's the closest to the original. Some seem to have small problems the fixes get lost in the translation
don't mind SMT but if the main IC's were socketed I could try some more modern alternatives.
I can't download some of the files as Microsoft thinks they contain malware.
I have searched on here and seen http://www.geotech1.com/forums/showt...highlight=1266 but does not seem to be working with the correct coil.
Interesting the last comment was by --Dave J. Same name as the original designer Dave Johnson.
Has anyone got details of a board that's 100% working.

Here's one of the direct links: 
and can only see 3 pins in the coil connector.
