I have a Fischer f-19 and wanted a large coil. The 13" ultimate for the omega was recommended. Fischer's web site shows the F-5, F-19 and Goldbug coils are interchangeable. the exception being the F-19 can not run concentric coils. The F-75 is listed as being separate but the pin patterns are the same and physically they do work but I haven't measured how well, ( I have the f-75 also). At least one person on youtube is using a F-75 coil on their F-19, but Fischer does not list them as being compatible. Fisher hobby detector accessories chart on bottom, scroll right to see it all.
It would be nice if 1st Texas would make an interbrand list available.

I swapped the F19 and F-75 coils for a quick test and both machines seem to function with each others coils. It was just a quick test and the coils being of different sizes was inconclusive other to say they do work. I wonder why the Fischer web site says they are not compatible.
