You need an appropriate cord. Bipost to whatever your flash requires (pc, etc). Have one made by Paramount. You may read or hear of people jury-rigging from an old electric razor cord... but that’s raa was ally not worth the hassle and can be unreliable.

If your flash unit accepts a household plug to connect it then you just need a common cheater cord sold by most electronic and computer parts stores. Or an old razor cord. Otherwise you will have to pay much more and get a paramount cord.
OK, so the name is Bipost. That yields a hit even on Amazon, but: "Currently unavailable". https://paramountcords.com/product/b...male-6-inches/ looks better. Thank you!
Soon I am going to try Cold Heat Soldering to attach wires directly to the male Bi-Post. Female socket inserts can be handmade
Cold Soldering is actually resistance welding by electricity, a proven technology
I discounted this invention for a long time, but now tool cost has diminished
I hope it works, as finding cables has become a big problem, yet I have at least a dozen, some don't fit. some have dried out insulation and some are way clumsy

I have bought at least 5 NOS Paramount cords direct from Paramount over the last 7 years, and even got free cords from LFPF members
Not all fit what I need, which include solenoid shutter triggers, FocuSpot lamps and shutter flash sync
Seems there are at least 2 sizes, I have brand new Paramount cords with flexible insulation, but the cord will not fit the pins
I have tried a few cures, which failed
Solder is next

You seem to have your troubles, Randy...
The Paramount cords fit a bit tighter than Graflex cords did but they’ve worked for me. It’s not like Paramount just started thinking about this...
But good luck with your theory; hope you succeed.

This seems to be the most affordable REAL tool
