Rimshot Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Might be wrong but I think the connectors are different Beau. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoser John Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 no but the proper elliptical one ROCKS the GB2 bigtime!!John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micro Nugget Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 The reason that the coil from an original GB cannot be used on a GB2 is because the frequencies of the two units are different; thus the lengths of wire inside the coils are different to match the different frequencies. From the outside they look the same, but internally are different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
