Mine Detector
I know that this does not give dimensions, but it will give a general idea:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_mine_detector There is also a thread on this Forum from way back in 2003 about this very item:- http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/showthread.php?t=424 Nigel Watson is still on the scene here, as is Cliff, so they should be able to help or suggest where you can get help. Paul.

I won't say what my first impression was when I saw the thread Polish mine detector, but it made me think about a reporter's experience in the Vietnam war. At the start of the war he saw an old gent walking along with his wife a few steps behind. When he commented the old gent said it was tradition for the woman to follow. Seeing the same old gent a few years later with the wife walking out front he asked why. The old gent replied, "Land mines."

Thanks Paul for the links, I have actually seen them before but any information is highly welcomed.
I also own the No.4A mine detector which I intend to make working. Just need to solve the battery problem as these are not available any more according to my information. But I might be wrong. A friend of mine found a B144 EverReady batery in his unit. It is 69V + 1,5V cell, which could work with that but I have to check on it. I found this link for a replica : http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/...pages/b114.htm I might give it a try. Dusan

Unless there is a transformer inside you would presumably need 1.5 volt for the heater circult on the valves, plus another battery for the main unit.
