bugger

[Stu :)]

My beloved Hanimex CX333 flash gun fell out of the camera bag onto a concrete floor and didn't bounce.

Picked it up, shock it, "rattle rattle" went something inside, turned it on, no caps charging sound, no charge light. Hit the test button, "bang" followed by the ozone smell of dead electrics.
Bugger. I liked that flash gun, it looked good and worked well with my CV Bessas.

Then again it could have been my 1939 90mm Elmar which lives next to the flash gun.

Bummer! Hope you get a good replacement for not too much money.

Stu:

At almost anyone's currency exchange rate, a dollar is pretty good for another Hanimex CX333.

Stu!

By any chance do yo have the instruction manual for the Hanimex?
Have a CX333 myself but without instructions. Would be interested about the automatic of the flash. Range in meters at different diafragms, etc.
