Hi all,
I just picked up an older Sinar Auto shutter in good working order, but the flash sync connector is a little odd, and I am looking for some information.
The sync connector is about 2 inches long and appears to be permanently connected to the shutter. The end is a recessed female PC connector, but it appears to be smaller in diameter than normal. There are 4 connectors (spring?) in a circle around the female PC connection. The problem is that a regular Male PC plug cannot make a solid connection with this. I have been using a small spring clamp to make sure the Male PC plug does not fall out, but this is not an optimal solution. Is anyone familiar with this type of Female PC connection? Does it need a special plug?
Thanks,
Seth
