'All yellow': 1989 First appearance and introduction of the 8862 in the Dutch
Lego-Catalog (pic 38&39):
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1989/c89nl/index.html
Fall 1990: Cap color changed to black. First seen in the German/French/Italien
catalogue. Also the 8854 has the newer black-cap cylinders in that edition.
Service-pack with black cap came available.
Detail in 1991 (dutch) catalogue: the capcolors of 8044 and 8854 are still
yellow, the 8862 is printed with the new caps. Looks like foto-retouch-job to
me. Pic 45 on catalogue page:
http://www.brickshelf.com/scans/catalogs/1991/c91nl/index.html
Last known changes: the connector-pegs and bushings improved to the newer
(second) version (see Hughes Technica) and the air-hose material became more
flexible, an other teint of black too.
Well, that's it as far as I know/have been building/have sold.... :-)

It's still weird that they released a poster of a 8862 with both the regular cylinders and the all yellow ones. (...) (23 years ago, 12-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)
