Your ad says that if the locking pin sticks, the camera and flash have to be sent to Pentax. In truth, the base of the flash can be unscrewed from the upper portion and the pin can be extracted. Also note that the pin doesn't actually stick, but the mechanism that raises it can break. Because alignment with the contacts is critical with this flash, I found that it doesn't work well without the pin. Tried it, but ended up reinstalling the pin. Paul
