Thanks David. I think my best bet is to unscrew the base. However, I'm going to need an L-shaped screwdriver. If I can't find one, perhaps I can torch a standard unit and bend it. But I'm sure I can retract the pin if I can unscrew the base of the flash. Paul On Jan 27, 2008, at 10:00 PM, David Savage wrote:
