CTX 330 Build..

[Silver Searcher]

Was out on Friday with a friend who has a CTX 330, we were staying over night so during a break I had a look and play with the CTX. All though the machine is heavy, it is well balanced and quite easy to swing, though I only used it for a few minutes. I don't like the way you have to change coils, the wire being down the centre of the shaft and having to remove the battery pack to do it.(to much to break) The cam lock on the shaft leaves a lot to be desired as well.

But it does seem it's got a bit more depth than the Deus, and on pasture (which we were camped on)I think it would be better. Would have liked the screen to be removable like the Deus to, and a wireless coil but I guess this is a patent issue. All in all a nice looking machine and I think I might like to have one to do the pasture, but I will have to find something a bit tasty first before I lay out a whopping £2000.

When I would change coils, I too was removing everything from the back end but the other day I was able to change coils without taking off the battery pack! It worked great.
I haven't had any trouble with the clam clamp either! All in all an excellent detector!
Best of luck!

That coil shaft though, it looks like it could take the weight of 10 men. Could have been smaller in diameter.

Yeah! I was surprised by that square shaft too! But it does seem solid!
