Hi.
Am offered a used 200b outfit in untested condition, with charger & LX-3 (?) head for low cost... I have used them in their prime and a good lower power strobe when I need a little more oompf power on location than on-camera types...

I expect it might require some $$$ to be thrown at it to get it up and running, but only might use it 2 or 3 times a year, but I know they should be used/charged regularly or it might go into the big sleep...

So is it wise to consider, or a possible money pit when I want to use it???

Also, anyone had luck rebuilding the battery pack if needed, or upgraded to the gel cells?

Thanks,

Steve K
