I noticed today when I put the F75Se together that after lining the pins up with the holes that the coil was slightly off center from the display box....is that the way it's suppose to be? I don't see any other way to straighten it out without not having the pins in the holes which make the shaft wobble?

Shaft holes off?

Okay not knowing for sure what is going on with the holes not lining up. About all we can do is check things and see if something is put together wrong or something is wrong with the detector parts.
You have a 3 piece shaft, the one with the control box, the center section and the one with coil.
Turn the detector up side down and take a eye shot down the bottom of the shafts and see where the holes seem to be off center, that will tell you where the problem is. Remember you have one snap hole in the control box shaft, make sure your center section snaps into the control box section.
After you look and check things over at some point you will either find that you have something put together wrong. If it turns out that it is a part problem you need contact FT and see what they will do, I am sure they will make it right.
Good luck,

My F75 se upper shaft is offset from the other two shafts. Maybe that is what you are noticing. I don't think the whole set up is supposed to be totally straight. I don't have a problem with the way mine works.

That's what I was wondering...the control screen with the coil flat, is kinda leaning off to the right...just didn't know if this was the way it was suppose to be or if the holes on the shaft were off...guess it really doesn't hurt anything...just thought it was a little strange.
It's very possible the holes were drilled or punched offset during the manufacturing if they moved or not centered properly. Find out which one of the shafts are off center and call First Texas and tell them. They'll just send you a new one or they should. It might have been missed during their inspections.

I think its misaligned. I had to file the inner collar of the tightening hub on my Omega because of excess plastic residue. The rod would not go in the collar. Did it myself. But rest assured, if the holes are misaligned, First Texas will take care of you.
