Finely got the Quatro,

[Flintstone]

Hi all, i got my detector, looks like new, works grate. It has the 10" coil. How dose everyone get the coil from flopping up and down. I don't want to over tighten. Is there a coil holder or something to put on it? The detector still has the plactic cover on the face, i think it was a demo. Thanks for any help, flintstone

Check to make sure the washers are on it. I’ve cut spacers out of plastic lids to fill in when necessary.

Flintstone, they make a coil support, triangular in shape. They are made of plastic and they connect to the lower shaft @ the coil using the same hardware that connects the coil to the lower shaft. I used to own one or two. Let me check and if I have one, I'll send you one. I'll get back to you.

I did that with a cardboard box that came with pens. That box was slightly thicker than today’s boxes and it made for a good washer. After awhile it wore down, I would make another and replaced.

If I can find it, you can have it, as I don't use it anymore.

Confetrit, I made one of those out of plastic but it broke, it was to thin. I will try and find some thicker plastic. I think it will work if i can find something that will not brake. Can't use anything to thick. What would you think would make a good brace?

Maybe try rubber washers.
What I've used on other machines.
Most machines today come with them installed.
CK out a good hardware store.
Come in many sizes and thickness.

I would think a heavier plastic, but not too thick, as these were made of. Have you tried to Google these to see if they are still available for sale? They were not expensive. I hate that I haven't been able to come across the one I had. I really don't remember what I did with it. I have sold several detectors and I may have let it go with one of them. Anyways, best of luck to you.

Yes, i tryed to find them even on Centervill and they didn,t have any listed. I will find something that is stronger and make anouther one. I think it would of worked if it had not broke.
