It was the INCA that swung me over to using and selling Tesoro's in mid-'83. In short order I swapped the 7" from the Mayan and that's just about all I ever used on the Inca .... and it rewarded me well in the old ghost towns I frequented regularly. I used most of the Tesoro models and have maintained my two favorites in my outfit: The Bandido II µMAX and Silver Sabre µMAX.
I have my preferred 'modern' models with visual Target ID and audio Tone ID, but I still travel with one or both Tesoro's, and they do see frequent use. Both sport the 6" Concentric coil, and they can challenge a lot of the 'modern marvels' in some tough conditions. Glad to hear your pampered Inca is still running well.
