Help me help my grandfather

[TravisR]

Hello! My grandfather has been into ?hunting? as long as I can remember. He recently had a pretty big uh-oh snagged the cable out of his Tesoro coil. I?m fairly handy with electronic repair so he asked me to try and reattach it. To my dismay it?s a waterproof coil so I can?t find any way to solder the leads back in. I?m hoping you guys can point me in the right direction of what a solid replacement is. It?s a four pin connector. This is the model number from the one he already has

Welcome to TreasureNet.

Picture is not clear, impossible to read. What model of Tesoro is it and what are the dimensions of coil?

looks like a standard concentric 9x8 coil that comes with a Tesoro, not the DD coils.

Above is link to one off ebay that sold previously, things are getting harder to find. But I'd think a stock coil should pop up again on ebay.

And then there are new aftermarket coils, ....$$$

You are correct. It?s a 9x8. I?ll keep my eye on eBay, what would be a comparable replacement aftermarket. I don?t mind dropping a fair amount.

Look for Tesoro coil, it will pop up.

Sorry about that. The Sticker on the top says c33648. I believe it’s a 9x8 as @steve1357 posted one that looks just like it.

Super dumb question. But will a five pin work in place of a four pin?

No you want 4 pin.

Supporting Vendors

Try the supporting vendors here, Cors makes aftermarket coils for the Tesoro looking at their website, buying it from a supporting vendor should ensure you don't have a bad experience on ebay....(I have)

Travis, Not exactly what you are looking for but it is a Tesoro 4 pin coil. $200 Canadian. I found this online and it's not what I was looking for. I need 5 pin.

18" Bigfoot or is it Cleansweep?

Tesoro called the 4 pin coils the Delta series, if I’m not mistaken. Those are what you want for Cibola, Vaquero or Tejon. If you have a 4 pin coil, that’s what you need to replace it with. Luckily they’re fairly common, made from about 2003 on, I think. The one pictured is the standard 9x8 concentric, a very good coil. I would want to replace it with either the same, or the 5-3/4” concentric (also 4 pin), depending on which detector and where it’s used.

Hope you are able to get it to work and have your grandfather back in business.
