Stoof-tabsallday said:So, I was reading up on power balancing and it says you have to do it in all metal mode on the cibola and Tejon which I believe is a no motion all metal (like pinpoint).
Says you can't power balance in disc mode. Compadre only has disc.
Maybe I'm understanding wrong, but I'm very curious.
Would you mind explaining, with your compadre as the example, the steps on how to do it?
I definitly see me getting another compadre to do these mods to.
Thanks

I just wanted to pick one up to mod out for the fun and knowledge. I'd keep my other compadre stock.
I have other detectors for use in bad conditions if needed, so the point of the mod would be purely for fun and to play around with the compadre.
But, without proper directions and a list of parts needed I won't try it. I was going to get the 5" Compadre anyway to have.
But if I can find a thorough set of directions to which is which and what goes where, I won't chance it.
I like my 8" but feel that for some parks, the 5.75 would come in handy. When bought the 8, I only had the ace. Now that I have more, if like a small coIL compadre. My 8 can't get very close to metal poles and such, where the 5.75 probably would.
Stoof-tabsallday said:Haha your video is what pushed me off the fence on the 8" side to begin with.
My problem is, when you don't know something is there, do you just go really slow all over the area?
I've never found anything near any poles or metal. Tried going slow.
Maybe I'll do what you did in the video and run the test to see how it reacts for me and to get the speed down packed.
So you don't think I need the 5.75 then? Does the 5.75 react better near metal?
