i had a f-5 a few years back and good machine until you got near power lines and forget it after that........had to run sens really low to be stable but open field and away from electrical pretty good machine.........you can usually find a good used one for right around $350.00 sometimes a little less the man that knows that machine best is on findsforum is Mike Hillis he could probably tell you anything you wanted to know about it

Old thread but for future viewers my 2 cents,the factory 10"x5" is the best coil so far.
Mine came with 8" concentric and I bought the Nel sharp shooter.
Thought that was as good as it gets,but the chance for a new 10x5 came my way,to me its better in every way.
Put an aftermarket decal on it if needed to pacify yourself.
"Coin Mangnet Neomag/1.0

Gave the sharpshooter another chance,I like it.
I can run it hotter and not get emi chatter like my other coils.

Been reading on another forum in the Teknetics section about a company called MARS that manufactures coils. Unfortunately right now, they are only available overseas. The guys that use them really like them and compare them to the NEL coils. I checked with a vendor in the U.K. and as suspected, the shipping would make the total price outrageous. I believe that they sell over there for the same price that the NEL coils sell for over here. Hopefully, a vendor in the U.S. will start selling them. I know that the build quality of my NEL Sharpshooter is spot-on.
The MARS coils are just as good if not better as told by the guys across the pond that use them.

FYI... Kellyco will be the exclusive distributor of MARS coils in the US, coils will be available in the coming months...
