Specifically Model 14 beacons with a Rando Skybolt apparently.
Summer has been pretty quiet for me, but I seem to have spent it finding Model 14 beacons. As I have noticed in the past these things tend to go in trends.. at 1 point there were Model 11s, then Twinsonics, and as of late these Model 14s..
Now here is the kicker..
several of those amber Model 14s, did not have the typical clasp style lock for the retaining band.. instead it was more like the screw type connector found on Dietz or similar. At first I thought it was a hack or home brew, but its done very clean, would not surprise me if it was factory.
Plus..
Anyone ever see a tag with a designation stamped behind the series number?
I have one that reads "8Z" behind the A3 series designation.
Z obviously is custom, but beside the non clasp everything else is the same as a standard A3 series beacon.
