What Tesoro Machine is this coil for?

Hello folks,

I inherited this coil several years ago and have been packing it around.
Still don't know what machine it works with.
It has 4-pin configuration, so will not work with my B II uMax.

The coil is approx. 4" by 7" and elliptical in shape.
I don't think it has ever been used although there are some very slight scratches on the scuff cover.
The scratches I believe are from being packed and unpacked since around 2006.

Thanks,

4 Pins fit the Tejon, Cibola, and Vaquero..If you have no use for it, Finds has an accessory site where it can be sold.

not a bad idea
the reason I posted was I cannot find the coil listed on tesoro.com
it made me wonder if this would really work on Cibola/Vaquero/Lobo/etc.
or if it was some other Tesoro model

Thanks,

Same coil is listed on the U.K. Detechnics site in the second hand coil section for

Hello,

I just picked up a used Tesoro Lobo and turns out the Eliptical coil is cracked.
I'd like to give this one a try.
Let me know if you could consider it's sale.

Hi Bill,

Yes I am going to let the coil go since I am not in a monetary position to move to a Vaquero or other machine.
At least not for a few months, and I need the dollars right now

I could be wrong, but it looks like a Diablo coil

 

[BillF]

I think Topo may be right. It looks a lot like a Diablo II Gold Demon coil. Without the sticker.

 

[nwdetectorist]

Thanks Topo,

That sounds really specific.
So, perhaps it would not work with the Vaquero, Lobo, and others.

I emailed tech support at Tesoro about a few weeks back with the pics and the serial number.
They were very generic with the answer, only saying 4-pin was for the Vaquero type machines.

It sure would be nice to know what this coil was for

Thanks,

I have one, and use it on my Cibola, although I believe it was made for the Lobo....it is a concentric coil, and works well in trashy areas. HH

 

[BillF]

When I agreed with Topo about the coil, it really did look like a Diablo coil, but FuriuosT gave me reason to look it up. Here is a pic of the exact same coil used for a Cibola so it should work on any of the same type, V, C, L.

Thanks Bill F and Furious T

Maybe I will own a Vaquero again some day.

Its a concentric coil we made for a limited time. We do not make them anymore. This coil is made for the HOT machines only and will not work with the Diablo or the original Lobo.

 

[nwdetectorist]

Thanks allcav,

Now I know for sure what the coil works for.
Maybe I will get a Vaquero again, and give it a try.
