It appears to take 3 D cell batteries. It has 3 outlets that appear to be household. The one in front says it is for remotes The 2 on each side say nothing. It came with a household to (modern)flash sync, so I haven't determined if it works yet. The reflector is about 5-6 inches in diameter. Anything anyone can tell me about it would be appreciated. I'll try to order a cord from Paramount to fit the double prong of my lens. Then maybe start looking for flashbulbs. Thanks, Matt |

The reflector should be focusable so you can adjust the width of coverage to suit the subject distance. It moves in and out and locks with a thumb screw. There are reference marks to guide you, on the socket where the reflector slides. High quality unit, these. I have a couple and like them much better than any other of the period. |
