One word of caution about buying used studio flash......make sure you see the unit working before you buy. It may sound stupidly obvious, but these units have large capacitors in them and if they are not cycled every now and then, the capacitors will fail.

The cost of repair was nearly as much as a replacement when it happened to my Bowens setup.....and of course, parts are getting harder and harder to find nowadays!
