cibobo or lobola

[comcat]

hiya guys,,between the lobo and the cibola,if using the 9x8 web coil on both machines,,which has the deepest ground track,,,will the lobo go deeper on say a dime,,or does the cibola hold its own or better??/ always wanted to know,,had a cibola and fitted a g.b. pot to it ,,it worked everywhere well ,,but is it as good as the lobo ??? reason i ask is i want another tesoro and am torn between the two of them, rgds

The Lobo runs on higher frequency than the C and I don't think the Lobo is H.O.T. design. My guess is, the C goes deeper, but the L is better at small gold.
Since I own a modded C, that would be my recommendation. If you've owned one, you know what they can do.

I don't know about the depth of the Lobo with the 9x8 coil but thought that I would pass this on. I was speaking with Rusty Henry the other day (super nice guy by the way) about different things and I ask him if the Lobo with the 8x9 coil would be a good coin hunter. He said yes but....... if a person was to put a 9x8 coil on the Lobo it would be best to send the Lobo and the 9x8 coil in to the factory and have them "match" it up to get full potential. He said the larger coil would work fine out of the box on the Lobo but after they tweaked it would work even better. Personally I have never owned or used a Lobo but if I had the $$$ I would love to try one with the 9x8 web coil after Rusty & the crew worked their magic on it.

The Lobo is HOT. They use the Lobo across the pond as their relic machine. The Lobo will be more sensitive to metals!

One sponsor posted the Lobo as one of the few machines to find a dime at 12".

robert,,are the stick on control box decals available from tesoro...would like to put them on my new machine??? rgds

 

[allcav]

If you send me the serial number of the machine, I could sell the decals to you!

 

[allcav]

Let me say it a little different. If you have a machine, I can send you decals for that machine. I can not however send you decals to a machine that you do not have!

It does cost $15.00 for side decals!

 

[finnfoto]

WOW. Any chance tesoro is coming out with anything new? I see where you mentioned you make what the other company wants. Does this mean with all the requests for new units there will be something new?


I know this question has been beat to death already.

I believe some are just repackaged older models as well as the newer models.
The current French Invincible might actually be the USA discontinued Eldorado Umax.

[POLEWAGGER]

I'm guessing something had to offset the cost of getting them over there.
