WTB Cibola with GB mod

How about an excellent condition Tesoro Bandido II? Sounds perfect for what you're looking for, plus "real" manual GB! I would do $275 shipped using Paypal or $260 shipped MO. Let me know if you're intersted. Thanks

Heck, I also have a Tesoro Tejon with the standard and 5.75 coil in good condition for $415 shipped or even a like new Tesoro DeLeon for $375 shipped! Let me know if you are interested in any of them. Thanks

If you can solder it's not too hard to do it yourself.
Try googling " Sven cibola ground balance"... Sven posted a nice pictorial PDF

All the parts can be ordered for about $35 or less.

I spent 3 hours to do it, but I really took my time and even made plastic washers etc.

It really does make a difference in the way the detector works. I noticed it more in the audio response than anything else. Call me crazy, but targets have more distinctive attributes. It just makes the detector a fine tuned machine.

Yes, it ruins the warranty, but let's be fair... If you didn't buy the cibola new it shouldn't have the lifetime warranty anyways. Personally I would only mod a used / second hand one.
 
Maybe you are right-I can solder and Quite well thankyou.
Just the bother of ordering parts etc etc if there was one out there I would get it
I will change it but you can't cancel these ads.

David ,
You lost me .....??????....You wanted a Cibola , and ended up buying a Silver Umax ? ...... Just curious .....Why did you buy the Silver Umax instead of waiting for a Cibola ? ..... I'm wanting to buy a Cibola myself so that I can mod it like what you origianally wanted to do ... Are you now going to mod the Sliver ? ....Thanks, Jim
 
Well It's simple-The used umax is cheap as far as detectors go and I don't have one detector right now.
I usually have two and run them against each other and after awhile sell the loser and get another.
I just bought a CZ-3D and he didn't even get my money order yet but if you say you are looking for a tejon someone will ask you if you want a Vaquero and so on.
I didn't get the umax because he changed his mind.
I was contacted by someone who had a cibola his son hardly used and by the time I emailed him he changed his mind and said his son wants to trade it in.
Now he emailed me again and said he will decide after the holliday.
So right now I have nothing. Just waiting.

gotcha ......sort of a " bird in the hand " thing !!.....keep em moving !!!.......Good Luck in your search ...Jim
