I picked up a black 5900 Di pro sl with a 9.5 blue max coil in mint condition for cheap. It's like brand new but it is an early model with the gain knob on the front of the box instead of the top and the shaft is the bolt together type with no twist lock thing. What's wrong with these machines? Everyone seems to want the newer ones with the knob on top but do these older ones lack in performance or have another problem that I should watch for? I also got a new in the box 15 inch blue max coil for $100. My plan was to dedicate this machine specifically for cache hunting.
