Great article!
I was interested in transplanting a T Power Control socket to a FL-36 or 50
flash.
No experience here, but shouldn't just disconnecting the flash head and
replacing it with the socket work? Or would the flash head have something
'built-in' as well?
I have a not working fl-36r lying here, I could open it. Actually, it
charges alright (well it sounds so) and all the electronics (menu etc) seem
to work fine. Except it doesn't flash...
How should I discharge the transistor? With a resistor?
