Oh nice. I'd like to see them. Are all from the same decade or a mix of decades eg 70s, 80s, 90s?Stevenkn49 wrote:I have 7 minimites, still less than you thoughThey are all 12v. I'm trying to upload a pic but it won't let me
When you replied did you click on attachments & click add files? If you did once you found the photo you may to to make the image smaller for it to upload. My images are 700 x 525.

I'm not sure which decade they were made. Six of them all look identical with the same style of writing and motors, but one has slightly different style of writing and a smaller motor. I'll take pics of the motors etc soon. Do you still have all of yours?

Very nice! They look like early to mid 70s models. If you pop the siren part out from the bottom housing you should see a year stamped on them I'm guessing.
One of my 6 volt units that looks like yours has the year 1975 stamped onto the side of the motor.
Yes I still have all my Minimites. I do wish they were dual tone though. They would sound much nicer if dual tone to what they do now being single tone.

I had a look and 4 of them say 1978. The other 3 are smudged so I can't make them out, but I presume they were from around the same time.
I tested them using a 9v battery, very impressive for their size

Very nice! Yes they're very potent little noisemakers.

quite lucky to own a bunch of these, apart from that, i also have some. but thanks to you, we can now confirm the 50 volt minimite exists. just one question : is it a 50 volt ac or 50 volt dc version ?
