	Vintage Whites TR73 The Alaskan Discriminator « on: February 18, 2011, 09:13:57 pm »

Hello Everyone . I have seen these pop-up on e-bay and craigslist for usually around 50 u.s. dollars or so . All the owners manuals are easily available on the internet but no schematics and or specs so far. They are probably good machines for their time , the only thing I do not see is a G.E.B. control only the auto. or discriminate setting . For the price it might be a good general purpose detector to experiment with , unless someone else disagrees . Well that's what this forum is about anyway , opinions and ideas.

Best Regards............Eugene

Hey Eugene good to see you.

Yeah and you don't want to replace them high dollar but Eugene GD or Homefire could probably tell you a cheap replacement fix.

Good to see everyone again !!! The TR73 might be from the early 1970's . I also read that it was very sensitive to old coins too ? So I am looking for one , and I do like the chest strap feature . I think GD is a bit older than this one , lol Wise

Best Regards.............Eugene

About Time you showed up!

Were ya been?

The only thing I don't like about TR detectors is you have to keep a steady level from the ground.

Never was too good with that.

Shocked

Hello Homefire . Yea , Its good to see everyone still here too !! Been busy with that painfull subject called [employment] .
The coinmaster 6/dbh is the same type of housing/unit [shoulder strap] has the GEB searchcoil and GEB adjustment . I found one on craigslist for 75 dollars . I am looking to buy one or two hopefully dirt cheap for experimenting and possible dissection , if necessary . Hopefully I can find em on craigslist close by me [locally] . Gas is back up to 3.35 gallon here , its crazy again !!

Regards.........Eugene

Wasn't the TR73 tuned to find gold nuggets? I can't remember never was a big Whites man. ( Sorry that sounds bad coming from a half breed Indian. )
