Wanted Circuit diagram

[Toby]

Does anyone have a circuit diagram or printed board diagram for a KTS Electronic Gold Scan metal detector?

Toby, why would it even matter? Addressing this issue will either clarify matters or make them more absurd, your choice.

Personally, I believe that a detailed schematic of the circuit(s) board(s) and coil data should be supplied with every new metal detector purchased, and be made available for download in the event a used unit is purchased without this information.

I tend to agree, but it is a two-way street.

Modern digital detectors universally use firmware which can't be read in most cases. And most of the time, any failure is a bad connection rather than a bad audio amp for example. However, these same detectors use surface mounted technology, and not everyone has an SM rework station to service them. Imagine getting a detector back at the factory where some idiot has tried to fix a detector with a soldering gun!!??

Haha! I'm in complete agreement on that point Alan...I can really imagine some tech-jocky area replacing a surface-mounted component with a 500 watt Weller gun!! I would still like a scheme, tho..
