Jeff, can you post a picture of your Pink?

 

[Roy]

My HP4400c scanner has enough depth-of-field that I can scan most stuff directly! Try scanning the Pink directly. Most of the pictures that I've posted have be taken with the scanner and not a camera.

Roy,

I don't have pic posting capability e.g., no access to a digital camera but I do have a scanner if that helps.

I might be able to take a regular photo and then scan it when the pictures come back. I've never done the 'scan to a web page' before so I'm a little unfamiliar with the process.

Roy,

I stopped by the Sears Hardware store where I had seen the brownish colored MMs to pick one up for you, but found none!
Either they sold out because they are $2 off this week, or I mistook a Craftsman for a MM.
(They did have Craftsman in that color).

Sorry

New picture and list in the first posting! Thanks to "ratox" I now have a Bronze (Brown?)! Other than the pink, anyone know of any more factory colors? Ratox has a really nice one in a color scheme he calls "Spectrum"! Thanks everyone for your time and effort in helping me with this collection!

Can anyone help?

Wow, very nice collection, Roy!

 

[Velcro]

Roy, are you aware of Mag's Americana Limited Edition?

Each light has an American icon; a native American, an American (bald) eagle and the Statue of Liberty. They come in a nice wooden display case too.

You can find more info here.

There is also a Nascar series.

And to top things off, there's also another camo color.

Greetings,
Velcro

Back in December I sent a picture of my AA Minimag collection to Maglite with a query as to what colors I'm missing. Got the following responses back from Don at Maglite:

"Your collection looks pretty complete, re: the gold light I cannot tell if it is the 18K gold over brass or just the gold anodized light, in either case you are missing one or the other. Also, I don't think you have pink, at least I can't tell."

I received a second response from Don about the gold Minimag:

"The gold plate over brass was discontinued in the late 80's."

Sooooo......now I need the PINK and an 18K GOLD plated over brass Minimag!

I was thinking about my collection of AA Mini Mags, and I have two I don't see in your collection. Back in the late eighties or so I acquired a gold AA Mini Maglite. It's not the bright gold like you have; I have one of those. It's a darker color. Not as dark as the bronze color; I've seen one of those. It's just sort of a darker, duller, less brassy looking gold color. Around the same time, I also got a silver AA Mini Mag. It's like the gold one: a darker, duller silver than the current silver ones. I have no idea where I bought them; probably mail order, as they weren't very common back then. I have no idea if they are rare or not, but I find it curious that the management at Mag Instruments didn't know about them.

Good luck finding a 18K gold plated one; I have a feeling they don't come up for sale very often. But perhaps if you check eBay every week, with a structured search to screen out as many false hits, you might find one, sooner or later. I hate to think of what the price would be, though!

This continues to be an intersting post.

Roy, I've previously posted that I have one of the elusive pink MMs and you've asked me to post a pic.

I haven't forgotten about you but I don't have a digital camera but I do have access to a scanner. Do I simply scan the light? It seems sort of crude and irreverant. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

The pink light definately exists and I'm not making it up just for attention! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

My Hp4400c scanner has enough depth-of-field to take a good picture of the minimag. Most of the pictures I post are taken this way. The picture will need to be resized to no more than 600 pixels wide. Give it a shot...I'd like to see the Pink! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Roy,
about the gold-plated one... Have you ever concidered electroplating it yourself? I have used an Au- based solution (not sure if they still carry it, but I got it from Conrad) to gold-plate some things, and it worked rather well. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I just hooked up the part on one, and the fluid on the other side of a powersupply, had patience and buffed afterwards... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif Just make sure the polarity is correct, you don't want an electrode coated with gold... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon15.gif

 

[Xrunner]

Sounds like an interesting idea, have you ever electroplated a flashlight? I see a new trend coming: gold Arc's that can be worn as clothing accessories and provide backup light at the same time. "But honey, now it looks good (to normal people) and provides light" /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You didn't mention camo. I have had a camo mini mag for a few years. Seems to have a very tough finish, not like HA II.

Anyone found the pink one yet?
