Tesoro Update

[Mojave1]

Thanks, Whimpster.

I'm wondering if the guy who bought the equipment is Frank Sanders. Awhile ago he was doing modifications to Tesoros and had a website called depthdevil.com. It was gone the last time I looked but I hope he's going to restart it. He was interviewed on the All Metal Mode podcast last August.

I doubt it's Frank Sanders. Last I heard he went awol and had some guys detector sent to him for repair and he never sent it back.

Ouch! He seemed like a decent guy on the podcast, so I'm guessing there was an unexpected personal/family problem that derailed his plans.

All it takes is a fresh set of eyes and a little drive

and a whole lot of money...

I had purchased a Mojave detector when they first came out, hope to use it soon in Connecticut.

They may be done making detectors, but I doubt some of us will ever be done using them. Mine work too well to switch.
Going out early tomorrow for more old silver. ^_^

Sharing this from a FB group.

A friend told me, last week, that all of the Tesoro stock has been purchased by a reputable and experienced detector technician and salesperson from another major detector manufacturer. I don't want to release his name but hopefully he will revive the Tesoro brand. I don't know whether or not he purchased the building.

If you could see my face , I'd be sitting here with my hand to my mouth (in a thinking posture ) & making the sound "Hmmmmmmm?'.

GO GO TESORO !

This is Mario in Prescott AZ and as of last week, I now have what was left of the remaining Tesoro parts stock. Everything except not one single coil. I think I know where they went. This is not the forum to sell. I will $ join so I can post my contact info in the classified section. That's where I will go into further detail so the repair people have another source and can keep these units running for years to come. I will say here that the pile is at least 15ft x 20ft and over 4ft tall. I always wanted an MD, and will soon buy a Tesoro. I'm an analog guy as I repair, restore and build tube guitar amps and home stereo. I do some solid state stuff but I'm mostly into hollow state.
