Recently Tuned CZ3D
September 20, 2009 05:01PM
Several week ago I purchased a very low 1021 serial number CZ3D in pristine condition. After using the detector for several hours on two separate hunts I was not satisfied and felt like the machine was out of tune based on everything I read on this forum. I sent the detector to Tom and sure enough the nickel window was out of tune. A few other tweaks here and there by CZ Master Dankowski and the the detector was returned to me in short order.

Here is the PM I wrote to Tom
