I just bought a CTX and am going in a different direction now, my loss is your gain. The coil and the housing were inspected and are now running at factory specs. Comes with the 8" coil w/ coil cover
Also included is the printed owners manual and the book on the CZ detectors by Andy Sabisch. Everything is in excellent working condition and this machine should last many years to come. Asking $400.
Here is Tom checklist of what was performed by Tom:
> > 1) 'Salt' balance was slightly out of alignment..... which affects the entire spectrum & calibration of the unit. Now..... it is 'per engineering design'.
> > 2) Deep target audio smear did not exist....... no correction needed.
> > 3) I boosted 'Salt' mode auto-tune/all-metal Sens a bit more.
> > 4) 'Salt' Nickel ID was very slightly out of spec's....... and is now per engineering design.
> > 5) 'Salt' Zinc ID was also very slightly out of spec's......... minor calibration performed.
> > 6) I stabilized the electronics to a greater level of stability.
> > 7) Grnd Bal internal set-point was slightly out of cal..... and is now in spec's.
> >
'Normal' Nickel ID is now CZ-3D "old coins" spec's.
> > 9) 'Normal' Zinc ID is now CZ-3D "old coins" spec's.
> > 10) Internal electronics are exceptionally clean. This is a early 1997 unit.
> > 11) Unit was 10.6" on a clad dime in 'Normal' mode. Unit is now 11.0" on a clad dime in 'Normal' mode. This is with real-world (Florida) dirt.
> > 12) Audio boost circuitry was exacting ......... no calibration needed.
> > 13) I boosted 'Normal' mode auto-tune sensitivity a bit more.
> > 14) ID at depth is a fair amount better than engineering design requirements.
> > 15) Depth meter accuracy is 'CZ spec's exacting'.
> > 16) Pinpoint function per engineering design.
> > 17) Electronic stability is well above average.
> >
> > This CZ is a very typical/solid/reliable CZ-5 platform.......representing the entire/exacting intent for this platform. Nice to see!!
