[QUOTE="mbasko, post: 590672, member: 4485"] Not sure if they're still making Advantage coils or not? Some shops still have them but most seem to be larger sizes like 18" up so could be old stock or maybe still made in some sizes? I don't think too many people would be using a faulty coil without knowing. It's pretty obvious when they're no good but some newcomers mightn't realise I guess? All coils can give false signals in bad ground or wet/salt ground but a dud coil is past that. I wonder why he swapped straight over to his GPX - it doesn't say they tried another coil or checked anything? I've never had a NF coil DOA or one that died but don't doubt it happens. I have known others to send them back but they were used pretty well beforehand & always repaired/replaced. I've been blessed with coils from all manufacturers really. Only had the one bad coil & it was DOA + replaced. Some "respected" trainers also have coil & other gear "preferences" in place. ;) Just saying.... [/QUOTE]
