Looking for flash bulbs for items given to me.

[rastlin_70]

I have been given 3 Sunpak and Vivitar external flashes. The Vivitar thyristor 285, I am trying to wire in a slave cable to a Quantum battery pack. The flash has red, white, black, and green wires. The wire I was told to wire into the flash has just white and black. I dont know what wires to connect the slave cord to.

I was also given a Sunpak auto 522 Thyristor and a Sunpak Auto DX 12R that need the bulbs replaced. I cant find anywhere on the web what bulbs they have in them so that I can replace them.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Do you know how to use a VOM, and how to ensure you don't electrocute yourself by the discharge from the main capacitor?

Yes, I was shown about that, but he didnt know what wires I needed to connect the black and white wires too.

I'm sorry, I had a migraine and didn't mention that he gave me a power reducer that goes onto the top of the camera where the flash would go. Its the wire that goes from the flash to the reducer that i am trying to connect. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated

These items are pretty inexpensive on the used market, it might be easier to replace then repair.

That's what I am starting to think myself. Thanks
