Can Anyone Give A Reasonable Answer To This Box.

Got this off another forum in which I have no idea. What is the black box for. Some Applied Creativity coils have them and some do not...

Is it a ferrite ring?

Guess would be it had a switch in it to turn off the coil. Easy way to find out is get an ohm meter and see if one of those connectors has continuity with no resistance to one of the pins in the box end connector.

The 25 inch coil was meant to be used in all metal only. There are three versions : one for the early 6.59 khz models, one for the XLT, Quantum series 6.59 machines and a third model that was switchable between the two, the black box...

Happy Hour was the closest. That coil was designed to be used on a couple of earlier whites detectors. There was a small jumper that pushed into the little socket in the box. The jumper went one way for a particular model detector and you pulled out the jumper, turned it 90 degrees and plugged it back in to make the coil work on a different model detector. It's been quite awhile since I had one of those but I think it went one way for the 5900 and 6000 series detectors and turned the other way to work on the original White's Eagles.
