Just a reminder in case you haven't seen it yet, tonight 1/23/09 on the science channel at 9:00pm ET, How it's Made will be on. In this episode the Garrett Plant and ACE 250 will be featured in one segment. Looking forward to it.

I found it. chan 111 on time werner cable! --- How It's Made 5: Episode 21 ---- in case yall miss it

Well, it was kinda interesting. Lasted about 7 minutes. Showed how they make a wand for airports and about three minutes on making the 250. Showed winding the coil, installing circuit board and speaker, and tuning the coil to the circuit board. Also showed a circuit board in the center section of the coil being installed. I didn't know they had a board there. Learned something.Then they showed a guy swinging the detector and finding an old silver dollar.
I did record it but so far don't know how to upload a video to the forum. Like I said, it was interesting but short.

It also confirms my thoughts on the coil needing to be tuned to the machine!

 

[Goldburn]

I missed it, but there is a repeat tomorrow (1/25) at 4am. Set your dvrs!

That "guy" swinging the detector was Vaughn Garrett. Thought it was pretty cool but kind of short, I wanted to see way more.

They have a better segment on "Made In America." if they ever show it again. It lasts the whole 30 minutes. I missed the one last night but if it only lasted a few minutes I didn't miss much.

if the coil must be tuned to the detector; how can you buy a spare one... or an other size?
