Thanks, Mehrdad and David.  My unit was purchased new from Penn Camera last
summer, so the voltage should be OK.  I just got a Stofen Omnibounce for my
283 and was eager to see if it could help civilize my flash snaps.

there are at least two versions of the 283, one with high voltage and the
other (newer one) low voltage. all new camera's are low voltage only.
