I went on a popular detector retailers website (sounds sorta like JellyRole) and found a T2 listed on there used page.
Called them up, they said yep, it's brand new made in October, they guy bought it then and returned it after one month.
I asked them if the coils are interchangeable with the Greek series of Teknetics detectors. I was assured they were.
Man this is great I think as I will be able to use the two coils I have for my Gamma on this T2.
I get the detector and it is BROKE. All it will do is emit the siren sound and says coil overload or such non sense.
Then I hear from someone else that the coils ARE NOT interchangeable...Man, this couldn't get any worse...could it?
Yes it can and did.
I figured I wouldn't even involve JellyRole as this is the second strike for them in my book, having experienced their nice return restocking fee BS on something I previously bought.
I really wanted the T2, I figured, I'll contact Teknetics direct, send it in for repair, and see if they could possibly upgrade the computer to give it all the latest whizz bang features.
Even if I spent $100 more, I figured I would be even had I bought a brand new one.
Well, come to find out it was a bad coil, so they fixed it for free. Great service at Teknetics.
But they said they could not up grade the firmware.
I get the machine back and truthfully, I find myself reaching for the Gamma over the T2. The T2 Seems unstable, I dig empty holes etc.
Then I learn how to check for software version.. pull trigger, press grey button while turning the machine on.
Rev 5. something or other.
Thanks for letting me rant hear. I guess I have no one to blame but myself, but I will tell everyone I can....Don't touch my JellyRole. Unscrupulous is my opinion of them.
Anybody want a slightly used T2?
