To be honest, I don't remember. I do know that I got the procedure from an internet search, so I'm sure the directions will be easy to find. As Stenquist suggested in his email, I believe it involved unscrewing the base of the flash, and just removing the pin.

By the way (Stenquist)...
the camera and flash have to be sent to Pentax. In truth, the base of the flash can be unscrewed from the upper portion [...]

I'm assuming you're correct here. Not sure why I sent my in then. My guess is that I either didn't figure this out until I got the flash & camera back from Pentax, or I had trouble removing the flash from the camera with the pin stuck (ahem... I mean mechanism broken). Nonetheless, thanks again for the insight.

What did you have to do to remove the locking pin on the AF-540?

I've added 4 items this week, but 2 of them are somewhat redundant as I also sold a different grip and flash last week. Anyway, here's what's posted now on eBay:

Not on eBay but for sale:
Pentax Remote Control F that I've used all of about 4 times   $6

B&H lists this as compatible with the K20 and K200... however I used it for the K10D.


Already sold: K10D, 1.7x converter, flash, and grip from last week.
Still to come: 2nd K10D body, 12-24mm, 20-35mm, and 16-50mm lenses. And for those keeping score at home... yes, I've changed my strategy. I thought I'd be keeping one of my K10D bodies, but plan B is officially in effect.

Thanks for looking!
