One more try.
Any of you technophiles selling a Minolta flash suitable for a Minolta 
Maxxum 7D digital camera or know anyone who is ?

Models which work properly with the 7D are fairly rare.
These include

Minolta

    2500(D) - less capable than I really want)
    3600(HS)D
    5600(HS)D

Metz

    Some of MZ4 54 family either Minolta dedicated or with SCA3302 
adaptor

Sigma

    Some of EF500 DG super with Minolta shoe.

FWIW

The flashes talk with the camera re the various complex capabilities 
and settings. Flashes which don't speak the lingo, and most don't, do 
not work well with the 7D.

HS means it has "high speed" capability to allow it to work at say 
1/1200th second shutter when the inter-blind slot is only ever 
partially open at any one time. It does this by flashing repeatedly so 
all areas are illuminated evenly on average as the blind slot passes 
over them.

D means that it can read distance information from suitably capable 
Minolta (or other) lenses to assist in flash setting.
