probably a well known light - but looking for more

[axd]

What triggered my (moderate) flashaholism (see sig and profile) was this light:

​

The red filter started to crack, so it was time to look for a replacement (which I found in the SL SW - even if I'm worried about quality - I have this one for more than ten years, but I'd be surprised if my SL will last for few years :sigh: )

(See also link)

I'm looking for more information:

• name: ACR FA11(M)?
• can it still be ordered? (I tried an address that can be found in one of the PDF in the link, but got no answer)
• maybe I can order a few via some CPF member?

thx

First reply by ACR: "... product was discontinued by ACR in 1999, and we do not know of anyone with remaining inventory."

I've located a possible dealer in Germany, but I don't like the orange look; and the price is excessive (eur, 21+15+? for an item that cost maybe 10)...
