It was an offer I couldn’t refuse.
Complete but not working. $10.00
Cost two times as much for delivery.
i am going to restore it.
I all ready pull it apart and start cleaning it.
The power connector clips are corroded and will need to be replaced.
Also I can see some dry solder joints on the board and some bulging capacitors.
It will keep me out of trouble when I can’t go out detecting.

If you get that bugga working you will have one of the most powerful DEEP detectors ever Made, I think the 5900 is deeper because of the GB setup, But that one you have will smoke anything currently on the market,

I Bought a Brand New Unused 5900 DI Pro Plus and with a 950 coil on they Air Test in Meters NOT feet, Mine was made in June or July 1989, If it has the manual GB it should handle all but the very worst ground condition, In the US they have a Cult following and the Relic Guys Love em

PM your E-Mail Addy.  I have the Original Service manual for that.  Bit hard to read PDF Form  but workable.   To large to post here.

No back in the good ol days you could go to places like Photo Fax and get a schematic for just about anything sold.  Had one for everything I owned.   Hell most TV's came with one.

Just an average machine. But  vintage no doubt. Looks like a 6000/D GEB series 1.
The box needs new paint. Nice find. Good luck on restoration.

   Before you send it off to Erl Shivs for a Paint job you may want to try Phosphoric Acid..   My be is it would clean most of that right up.
