Had one years ago, trying to remember how the magnetic switches worked. Mine leaked or quit working so sent it back. Thanks

I have a machine coming. I can take some pics once it gets here. Any info on this machine will be appreciated. Charger, battery type, and manual info would be great!

Was that the one on the bay? If so I'm curious if it works or not like the rest of the vintage detectors he had for sale.I had a low ball bid on one of the Mark I's. Didn't want to bid to much since he was selling as is and said some worked and some didn't.

It was the one on the bay. I don't think it will work as these had rechargeable batteries. I am somewhat of an engineer so my plan is to figure out what I have to work with and go from there. This is one rare machine as I have only seen one other since I saw one back in 1983-84. You can't even find pics of them on the net

One of the best places for obscure metal detector info can be found on my website such as the Scuba King.

There are two fliers with the info in it. Look at the one about the motion machines. I believe the guts are the same design as the land version Coin KIng.
Similar to Garretts XL500 VLF/TR water machine and one patterned off the Garrett XL500 PI machine.
They actually made three models. One for wading and two for diving.
The one on ebay was the wading model. I owned one at one point, the batteries died and since I could not open it to change it, it was sold.

Well, the machine came today. Its complete minus the charger which is the first thing I will need to figure out as far as specs go. Anyone remember what the voltage was? Really looks nice now that it is cleaned up. Looks like it is actually convertible from wader to diver by removing the lower rod. Do you have higher resolution scans Sven? Your website has helped me more than once! Thanks for collecting and scanning everything. It really is a goto site for research on the older vintage machines.
