That's one hell of a collection. King Midas is in the house.

OMG :huh:, even without the gold plating your collection would be very impressive... but now it's just off the scale! Looks great! Thanks for showing us. :thumbsup:

Awesome! Please more details on how/who plated your lights. When I used to live in Gold country (Sierra Foothills in Calif.) there was a guy who could plate anything and was reasonable too. I wish I still had his info although I think gold has about doubled in price since then. You've got some great lights there even if they didn't have the Midas touch!

 

[Monocrom]

Now you're just showing off!

Those golden beauties would make a pimp jealous.

 

[tanasit]

Thank you all for the kind words...

LuxLuthor, like this?

CPF member Modamag arranges the coating services here ( http://www.cpfmarketplace.com/mp/showthread.php?p=2049111#post2049111 )
Earlier I sent the Mini D to be gold plated but I was told that it was made of special metal and the plating failed, so I told them to sand blast it first and still no go. I ended up sending it to Madamag and presto!

I have an electronic gold plating kit that is good for small pieces only, for example the watch bracelet.

No, I meant using the FM head from the Elephant, but that turbo head looks great too!

It reminds me of the closing of Act 2 Scene 7 of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, begins with: "All that glitters is not gold..."

that is...........

I came in here with the intention of making a snide remark on how weak and cheesy gold lights looked :thumbsdow . But upon seeing the lights, I can do no such thing. Berry, berry classy looking, if I do say so myself .

tanasit, do you have one of the original 24k over brass AA Minimags? Or is that just a gold ano'd aluminum AA next to the FiveMega one? The gold plated brass ones were a limited edition release in the 80s and came in a plush velvety box.

I've got one of those original gold over brass. They are special. Look totally different from FM's gold plated minimags which are also nice.
