It's made by Rayscope. It is a Super Scope model 990. This belonged to an old man that was friends with my folks. When he passed away it found its way to our house. I wound up with it and every once in awhile I look for any information on it but always come up empty handed. I have the original operator manual and some brochures that were mailed to the man who had it originally. The brochure states its price tag at $165 and claims to detect ore deposits up to 28' deep. Yes, 28 FEET. Lol Curious if anyone else has ever seen one.
). If I remember right it was a 711. Had a round bar that quarter turned into the boxes. A drop handle swung out of the bar to get it closer to the ground. Does that one you have take the big paper 9v battery & the 97 or 98v battery? It was really hard to keep tuned, kept drifting and if you had any bounce in your step at all forget it. You can still get the batteries at Batteries Plus, but you'll need real deep pockets. Oh that was the other thing, you had to let it warm up since they were tubers. Cool wall hanger though! Do you have the headphones that go in the pocket on the transmitter box? If not you can find them at some of the ham radio sites fairly cheap.
