Thanks for reminding me of my pleasant visits to the Magma, it was a friendly place. I was there two or three times, can remember one time in July when it was....surprise.... really really hot. One of the interesting idiocyncracies of the Magma was the copper smoke box color. I notice from Drew's pix above that later on it was changed to a more conventional silver. Here's a picture of the copper, circa 1965.
