Everyone,
I was recently given a Trip 35 (circa 1976 chrome and black) along with a
flash unit. However, I have no info on the camera, specifically how the
flash operates. The flash has a wire protruding from it which seems to fit
into the light sensor on the front of the camera. Placing batteries in the
flash unit causes the unit to charge up, with a red light appearing on the
back of the flash, I guess to indicate it is ready to work. However,
releasing the shutter does not cause the flash to go off. There is also a
white switch on the back of the flash and a red button that says "reset" on
it.Is there something I am doing wrong, or is this flash just broken? (It
hasn't been used since the 70s). I think the flash is a GE brand. Thanks
very much for any help you can provide.
Robert
