Just jumped on an advertisement for a CZ70. This will be my third one and I sure will think twice about turning it loose. I would never part with my CZ3d but turned the CZ70 loose in a moment of stupidity. There are just times that the CZ70 perfectly matches my mood and style of hunting. I can't wait to get it back into the lineup. Now if we could just get a thaw sometime before June I would be even happier. I usually buy a CZ70 to beach hunt and sell it after the trip. My ocean going adventures are usually years apart. That is why I turned the last one loose but I am keeping this one.
If you're lucky enough to find a hot (11+ inches on a clad dime) CZ-70 Pro in excellent cosmetic condition, that doesn't false a lot in iron, with accurate TID, then it is definitely worth buying & keeping. But never no never send one of these (a hot one) to Fisher for tuning, because if you do goodbye hot one! I've experienced this with one of my CZ 70-Pros (11.5 inch dime air test). Sent it in to have the TID tweaked. Per their repair receipt, they did a complete field test/tuning (to factory specs). Since getting it back TID is better, but the sensitivity is now crap, lucky to get 8 inches on a clad dime (not very happy)! I guess the new factory 1st Texas Specs are different that those used to tune the hot CZ-70 Pros at Los Banos! Too bad Tom D doesn't tune the CZ-70- Pros!
I have been lucky enough to find a hot CZ3d, in fact two of them, that went to Tom. Amazingly happy with them. I did let one get away from me. They were both testing 12 inches on a dime. Not sure what there is about the CZ70 but there are days it is the most relaxing detector to pull out. It still finds the goodies but seemingly without all of the drama.
I always heard the 112 serial number CZ-70's were the Hot ones you could run the sens. up to 6? I have only had a couple 102 ones I could only run sens. to 4. I think that is the key getting one that can be run to at least 6 with out falsing.
