Where it came from, what we did to it

A Novatron 400VR studio flash kit: power pack, two flash heads, fitted hard case, small light stand, two reflectors, and three sync cords in different lengths. The 400VR pack charges and fires correctly, and the flash switch was tested in all positions. The 2000C head fully works — modeling lamp and flash both fire — while the 2010C head's modeling lamp works but its flash does not fire, so that head is included for parts or repair. No internal repairs have been attempted.

Flaws we found

• ▲ 2010C head: flash does not fire (modeling lamp works); included for parts or repair
• ▲ No internal repairs attempted
