1280 x ?

[goldman55]

1280 x with the red headphones any way to tell how old one is. Found one looks like new few starches on bottom of coil other then that perfect. Still has case and manual. $325.00 is that OK price to pay for one like that? Any help please

[tiggar]

that's about the going rate for a good used one with the hard case included

I think that the red ear phones were on some of the first 1280x detector's they made........... But if it works that is a good price........... For Fisher still repairs the 1280x .... So if any thing ever goes wrong with it you know you will not be stuck with it............ For it can be repaired...........

The 1280 is built like a tank and you don't really need more than half sensitivity and a disc setting of 2. Best to try it on coins and a gold ring to see how high you can set it without losing gold rings. Pull tabs will also be heard when you can hear the gold rings. Your going to need a good scoop like the Sunspot Stealth.
