I wasn't going to post more tonight, BUT.
I have been playing with old Flash Bulbs and their holders. Seems the batteries are obsolete. This Agfa Flash uses a discontinued battery that's OVAL and the modern new one is SQUARE. An Amazon reviewer wrote the new battery would not fit his Leica Flash so I wrote on his review that I guess that meant it won't fit my Agfa Flash.
An hour later the computer beeps and he has posted. He took the outer covering off the battery, wrapped it in tape making it oval and it fits! I forgot that most batteries are round even if they look different.
Amazon, an old film camera Forum!
Eureka!
I also show a LawrenceWalsh FlashRule which is a wood slide rule for figuring out flash exposures.
The slide rule is handy as I have a variety of old bulbs. I'm going to need a few batteries. Like thishttp://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
