Sunpak auto 120J Problem

[JimKing]

I'm new posting on the forum so I hope this is the correct area for this question.
I have a Sunpak auto 120J flash. It has 4 AA cells internally and a external HV rechargeable battery pack. It works fine on the internal cells but not on the external. I found a replacement battery at B&H and a new recharger. Still no luck. I'm getting a reading of about 70 V on the battery output after a 24 hr. charge. I can use it on the internal cells but I sure miss the sub 1 sec. recycle time with the power pack. If anyone has a direction to try I'd like to hear from you. Thanks.

The indication is that the HV connector in the flash unit is likely malfunctioning.

Thanks, where is my screwdriver?

I'm getting a reading of 75K ohms across the HV input terminals does that change your opinion.

For reasons I can't explain I'm now getting no resistance reading across the terminals on or off therefor back to the screwdriver.
