Bandido?'s

[action]

Hi all,
I have a Tesoro Bandido that I bought new (1990 +/-) but has sat most of its life. I just sent it to Tesoro to get checked out. I am just looking for all the info i can find on this detector. I am looking for a user manual and when I had Tesoro on the phone I forgot to ask them about one. I will call back and ask them but just wondering if I can get one on line? I am not sure if the coil is any good as it looks like it has a small dent in it, Tesoro will surely tell me if the coil is any good. If it is not I would like to try a 5 3/4" concentric coil, Would this be a good coil for this detector?
Thanks for any help.
Jack

Back up to the forum titles and look at Metal Detecting Forum, and look at JB(MS) on Detector Manuals.
The Bandido II uMax is listed. Don't know if that would help. Don't hurt to ask Tesoro.

March or 1990 which is the month Tesoro started to produce them.

They don't have those older model's manuals on their site, but they should have an Owner
