[QUOTE="ronniecruisin, post: 550156, member: 3543"] Trouble is unless we know the machine has been bought from an actual Fisher dealer we will never be sure of what we've bought. Mine seems to have settled down nicely except for the small coil which is ratty anything over around 50% gain. Some areas I can run the 11" flat out and generally that coil is working well. The discrimination on these machines is the best I've ever used. So far real target tests have proven it to be very close to 100% accurate. So good in fact I'd trust it to use for prospecting in high rubbish areas. And I don't say that lightly. The more I play with this machine the more I'm liking it. Whether its a clone or not I don't care anymore. It's a keeper as far as I'm concerned. The loose fitting shaft was an easy fix. Simple shim of modeling plastic sheet. Tight as now. And as for the 5" coil. It works. Just don't overdo the gain and it picks up targets just fine. Might get a proper 10"x5" coil for it sometime. I'd only use the 5" rarely anyway. Yes your right about the T2 clone. I got the number wrong. :argh: [/QUOTE]
