Not clear what "No joy" amounted to, Simon, but remember also that (if I
have got it right) T45 without a battery will _not_ operate - even on mains
supply through an F.AC Adapter. You did have the battery fitted when you
tested, didn't you?

I hope you either used 'real' film, or your trusted
test-film-for-flash-testing, or even that famed-no-
one-kept-it-film-substitute-card in your OM body while testing. I know of
too many 'defunct' OM flashes simply because the tester forget to mock-up
film, flashed with the poor OM reading reflection off black film pressure
plate, and wondered why their flash nearly always fired full blast.
And: My T45 suffered from broken cable in that mounting piece from bracket
to handle. There are soooo tiny little wires in there ... just resoldering
did it.
Finally: Before giving your T45 a decent burial, what do you want for THAT
JUNK?
