Same Question for 1265X what coils available?

[A1MTD]

[size=medium]Hello Fellow MDers[/size]

[size=medium]Here we go again about which coils work on which detectors ! I know this has been answered many times before but I'm still confused with all the answers.
I'm looking to replace my old worn down 1265x search coil, I hear that the 1266x use the same coils as 1265x. Is it true that the 1270 also shares the same coil with the 1265x and 1266x ?
Does not the frequency of the detectors determine which coils they use? I understand that the 1265x had two version of coil plugs one with male 5 pin plastic and the one I have the 5 pin female metal plug. However this to me don't change the fact that they use the same coil even though the wiring for the plug is different. But, to see the frequency of the 1266x at 4.8 kHz and for the 1270 at 8.2 kHz ( not sure about 1265x as I lost the manual) seems to be quite the freq. difference between the 2 for enter swapping the coils. Someone please set me straight here, as I see there are some coils still listed for the 1270 with the 7ft or 3 ft cord, 5" and 8" coil as well as a coil listed as 10.5 inch with this part number 2024280010 , also a 10.5" coil listed for the 1236X. Any of these work on 1265X or 1266X?
Thank again sorry for my confusion!

Okay, I guess I'll start this off with the basic information.
The known odd balls in the 1200 line are the,
1220 and the,
1260
these two take a different coil and also have a different plug and are not compatible with any of the other 1200's!

Not one forum member did come up with what I remember was one of the first runs of the 1265 and it used a plastic "twist Lock" connector, Dave Johnson stated that they dropped the use of that style really quick to do problems it. It would use the same coils but the connector is the problem.

My brother has a 1270 and he uses 1266 coils on it but, it he couldn't get the little 3-3/4" inch to work for some reason. The one coil he likes best is the older 5" x 10" 1266 elliptical coil. I also believe he now has the older 1266 10" spider coil for his 1270 (haven't gotten any reports about it yet)

Hope this helps.

I haven't actually hunted with the 10.5 spider yet, but I did hook it up to the 1270 and took it outside in the yard long enough to prove it works.

I agree all the coils for the 1266x will work on most of the 1265x's.

So with a little looking around you may find these coils.
10.5 spider, you can still get this new for the 1270 and it will work
8"
5x10 elliptical, getting hard to find
5"
3 3/4", watch your plug connection on this one they made 2 types, one for the 1220/1260 and then the rest of the 1200's.

OK Guys

OK I see the ad you are talking about this guy selling these coils looks familiar :: I think I saw his mug shot on a wanted poster somewhere . He's actually a good guy from what I seen of him to bad he lives on the other side of the Big Line as it were. Unfortunately I would not be able to buy any coils from him because he's on the other side of the line as it were, but thanks for showing me this. So you say you have 1266x coils working on the 1270 huh? I have access to several New coils if still available for the F70 if they will work on the 1265X, please read my post above. Sorry, I'm confused with the frequency differences between the 1270 at 8.2 KHZ compared to the 1266X and 1265X 4.8 KHZ that's a big frequency spread. All Teknetics Greek series run at the same frequency of 7 KHZ but the T2 runs at a different frequency and these coils are not interchangeable between each other. So why would a detector coil designed for 8.2 KHZ work on a detector that's designed for 4.8 KHZ ? To me I may be wrong, maybe they do work, but I'm still hung up at the various frequency differences in many detector and their coils and yet the coils are not interchangeable with each other. If your right on this I will agree with you both, but let's keep this about the 1270 coils and not the 1200 series as these may work but are not available now unless you can get some used ones.. OK thanks for answering and keep it coming Id like to hear someone address the frequency differences on these coils and tell us that they are compatible with each other. Okie Dokie enjoy Ur comments keep er coming! Make my little brain understand!!

Well, if your talking about the seller's avatar that is NOT the person selling the coils, or to say he is not Mr. Ladd. I think forum member "TheOtherLegoHead" just used the picture as sort of a memorial so to speak. And just to note I did buy a coil off from the other person your talking about and his morals about buying and selling is also Top Notch!.

But back to "TheOtherLegoHead"
He takes care of his stuff,
He is a respected forum member here,
He has bought and sold many times on this and other forums and I don't know of ANY problems dealing with him!
I saw his add for those coils and felt the prices are VERY fair, if I was looking at buying some coils and those are what I wanted, you would not have gotten the chance, they would have already been gone before my brother even posted the link to them! but I already have a good assortment of coils for my 1266.

As far as the seller of those coils, he is top notch in my book!

OK Marc
Yes his logo did throw me off, thought he was incognito as it were, nothing wrong with either like I said, I have seen many of his videos and enjoyed every one of them, he seemed to be a good fellow as far as I'm concerned, I wont get into the politics of what happened on here that's none of my business either, just thought he might have been using another name which is OK by me as well. I liked Bill and he has commented on my postings in the past as well and has not given me no grief.

As far as the guy you are referring to I'm sure he's a good guy as well, what I'm saying is I live in Canada and shipment of coils or whatever from the U.S.is out of the question since 911. Unless I was to meet him at the border and declare them and pay for them would be the only way, except another fact I live in the Atlantic Ocean not near any American border crossing and to far to deal with it. Most people don't understand what it's like to be charged ridiculous fees from Greedy Brokers and others, everyone has there hand out as it were. So we don't buy anything from the U.S. anymore because of Greedy people lurking at the border crossings including Brokers sticking their hands into our pockets..

My distributor lives in Central Canada he supplies all us dealers with Detectors and coils and other accessories, he does the cross border thing and pays all the duties and taxes etc.
That's why I said I can get the 1270 coils if available if they work on the 1265x. I'm not doubting your friend and I hope he makes the sale on his coils, just wish there wasn't as much B.S. for over the border shopping specially since 911, now I need a passport to enter U.S. Nope, sorry I don't need one I'll just shop at home now.

I have seen these 1200x series coils on dealers price list a year or so ago, but I never acted on it, now they are not listed just the ones I spoke about in the first posting. They say if you snooze you lose, perhaps I.have snoozed to long and missed the boat.
Thanks Marc and I hope this clears things up and hope your friend can find another guy who needs the coils on your side.
