Hi Douglas,

Perhaps this link will be useful.  It describes how to use a common 
electrical meter to measure the voltage across the contacts of a flash unit.

I hope it is helpful to you.

Thanks Dennis. Plenty to chew on there. I see from that link that two of my
old Minolta flashes and my old SB28 Nikon have very low trigger voltages
anyway. The down side of my Minolta 4000AF is it's massive and bigger than
the camera! Now all I have to do is find out how to test the trigger voltage
on the Sakar, but Google is my friend, and thanks to the NSA a very, very
close friend...... :-)
