I just measured several of my flash units for their trigger voltage. It
wasn't difficult; had to use a paperclip on one or two to probe the side
contact. Plus (+) on all of them is on the center contact:
T-20: ~6 Volts
T-32: ~12 Volts
Sunpak 383 (new): ~7 Volts
Metz 40MZ-3i w/SCA 321: ~5 Volts
Metz 40MZ-3i w/SCA 301: ~5 Volts
Sunpak 140: ~210 Volts
Rollei E19BC: ~150 Volts
The Sunpak 140 is an older model number (replaced by 141 ??) and the Rollei
E19BC is even older. I use them on the Contax IIIa and Rollei 35, both of
which are mechanical, including the flash trigger mechanisms. Hmmmm, guess
I shouldn't use either of them on the OM-2S or OM-4.
