hello !
Or test it with an AVM preferably electronic.
When the fully charged light blink, the sync plug present the voltage to the
sync contacts inside the RF645. Using the AVM, measure this voltage and check
if it is within the limits given by Bronica.
I've had a Nikon FE2 fried by an old electronic flash from Hong Kong which is
still running fime.... grrrr  The FE2 died completelly, so better safe than
sorry !
Bear in mind that any shorting of the PC plug will ire the flash, so use care
when checking voltages unless you wear dark sun glasses....
