Heathkit GD-1290

	Detector Information « on: January 20, 2012, 09:57:23 am »

Hello, It's my first time to post here and I am just getting familiar with the site.
I recently dug out my old Heathkit GR-1290 Groundtrack VLF and replaced the battery connectors and happily it works. I have misplaced the operating manual over the years and no longer remember the setup and calibration procedures, if anyone has any info on this machine I would appreciate anything you would like to share.

Welcome from New Mexico.

Will look around for you when I can.

Do you have the schematic for that machine?

Yes, thanks I have the schematic but am missing the setup and calibration procedure. Wait a minute, happy days are here again, my wife just found the total documentation package that came with this thing. Manual, assembly instructions, the whole thing. [
