TESORO GOLDEN SABRE

.
...I am seriously thinking to start with something different...

Very understandable considering amazing efforts you've done on TGSL.

I think TGSL is a good standard for comparison because of simplicity. Good for testing different coils, components, etc.

We'll be very interested in whatever you do...

Max how about using this as avatar?
Do you like my guns and trumpet!?

[Fred]

THAT would explain why his detector is beeping all the time when he moves around

[simonbaker]

Is that a pinpointer in your pocket or are you just glad to see me...?


I think winter's coming...

Ha,ha,ha!! That is most possible explanation!

Do you play trumpet too?

Do you play trumpet too?

Unfortunately no!
I posted that photo just for joke. Guns and trumpet are not mine. I am complete pacifist and dont like guns at all. But yesterday i visited a friend and we shot that photo just for joke. Guns are complete legal, he has permitions and licences...just for note. If you pay attention you can notice "blockade" on AK47 done by police, so now it is not automatic but only semi and can be used as hunting rifle. Guns are Magnum 357 and CZ99 (serbian).
But most of all i liked the trumpet! I was delited.
But after enormous effort to produce at least simple sound i ended up just with a fat and painfull lips!
Heck, Louis Armstrong was genius - now i realised!
How the hell those musicians produce sonds with trumpet!?? I tried and tried and all i got was just "poooooaaaff" and nothing else!??

Off topic...sorry, but take this as a short pause until next TGSL mod!

Hi Ivconic,
What about RH ? did you see schematic and PCB and are you planning something with it?

Fred.

I will use your .lay file to make it.
Anything you can suggest more refering pcb?
I am in the middle of process of making it...

Did anyone every make this "GOLDY" PCB from Apberg ??? I wonder if "some" Ground Plane placement parameters or component placements can be used for Tesoro Golden Sabre Light PCB . I have not compared the two yet to see similarities , if any ................Thanks..............Eugene

[nakky]

TGSL is GOLDY.Grt Nakky.

TESORO GOLDEN SABRE

Thanks Nakky , I wonder if the Goldy has noise problems or chatter , and if Forum member Apberg finished building his Goldy ??? I can't rememember correctly , but I thought the TGSL light had the notch depth circuit removed and only one discrimination adjustment in the schematic ??? Maybe Ivconic will briefly discuss the difference between Golden Sabre Full version and TGSL Light version , if he has spare time ...........Thanks everyone.........Eugene

[nakky]

I ask Apberg,can you make for me schematic Golden Sabre without nonsense,minimum schematic,he did and I made Goldy Pcb.Apberg checked Pcb and made it work,than he send it to Ivconic and he did the wonderfull job to work it out as TGSL with I nice schematic and a lot of experiments.THANKS TO APBERG AND IVCONIC.Grt Nakky.

Yes it was last year. I made 12 devices using "Goldy" pcb. All works until today very good.
I rearranged new pcb than to suit enclosure i got than - CZ5 enclosure. Than i got 1265/66 enclosure and draw another pcb, than i got Gold Bug 2 enclosure and draw new one....than i got MD3009 and 3009a and draw another pcb...huuuh!
All this vould be voided if i had same type of enclosure from a very start.
But i didnt, so ...
But initially, "Goldy" was the very FIRST one we (Nakky,ApBerg and me) did using TGSL schematic - TGS without notch part.

No chatters and hums (at least not significant) on Goldy IF coil is made and nulled well. So i can only recommend it also as others, to be used.
Regards!

All it takes is one stupid trace on the pcb circuit board in the wrong place to cause an ingress or egress of signal to create noise oscillation . You can make / divide the tesoro Golden Sabre Light pcb board in 2 equal parts , it then will be 180 out of phase , sometimes that reduces noise . And then put a foil paper divider between the two boards . Nobody is at fault here anyway , the sprint layout software can not prevent noise on a final circuit board design. The Golden Sabre work done here by everyone , is always "Better than the Best"........................................Eugene52/stalni-clan
