any older Cutlass II users?

Hey folks, does (or has) anyone here use (used) the pre-μMAX Cutlass II? Just wondering how it was on depth, and how well it did in trashy spots with bottle caps or small nails.
Here's the model I'm asking about:

Average Tesoro depth and performance, similar to current Silver umax.If its priced under $115, worth getting. You could find them on ebay at times for as low as $75

I modified the two I had to straight shaft

Nice; thanks.
Got both of the later μMAX Cutlass models so thought I try out an older one, too. Always good to have another loaner for when my kids come over.

comparable, performance wise, with the Silver Sabre II. The same housings and battery power, with the difference being that the Silver Sabre II had a selectable Threshold-based All Metal mode and a crude Threshold trimmer knob near the coil connector / battery access.

The Cutlass II, also with a preset GB like the Silver Sabre II, lacked the true All Metal mode. It uses the ED-120 Discriminate adjustment range, and the All Metal selector is simply a bypass of the variable Discrimination, and is still a silent-search, motion-based Discriminate mode that accepts both ferrous and non-ferrous targets. Handy detectors to have around if you find a nice, clean specimen at an affordable / reasonable price. Great to use, but I like them as a 'loaner unit' to have on-hand.

Thanks, Monte.
Might you know if the Cutlass II has an internal GB trim pot?
