If you have one available for sale, I know someone who's nostalgic and interested in buying one? :)

No. But did have a Teknetics Coin Computer 8500. In fact I found my oldest coin with that machine.

I liked it but the handle design made it uncomfortable to use. I also owned the Fisher 1260-X. It was not as deep as the Teknetics but it was much faster and easy on the arm and rist. I found 10 times more with the Fisher.

I'll try to remember to watch out for a Mark 1. I'll let you know if I come up with one.

Best,

Teknetics 8500 and the Bounty Hunter Mk I were the same machine weren't they. 6500 had few adjustments and no meter, 8500 full adjustments and analogue meter and the 9000 with an LCD display.
The Bounty Hunter Mk I went back into production a couple of years back though Bounty Hunter itself wasn't making them. I could check on my old computer if anyone is interested.

Thanks, Bcamp. After 12 years, his nostalgia has gone away. 8-)
