F5 and F19 share same coils?

[Dan]

I thought they are different frequency so they couldn't have same coil. What's going on?

Yes...the 7.7khz and 19khz machines can swap coils...but the 19's don't like concentrics.

Thanks for the reply. So do they keep their frequency? I have an F2 . Can I use my coils on other models than the F4?

Yeah, the 7.7khz and 19khz machines keep their frequencies. The coils have circuitry inside that allows them to switch.

Similar to the F2 and F4 that run at 5.9khz.....they can take a Bounty Hunter 6.6khz coil and run fine....if the connector fits. \

Early F2/F4 had push-in style....later versions had the screw-in style with the threaded collars.

So if your F2 has a push-in connector.....it will work on any 6.6khz Bounty Hunter.

If threaded...only the Discovery 1100/2200/3300 have threaded collars for the coils...and are 6.6khz.

I bought a 5inch for the F5 and it was from the Gold Bug.
