Hi,
Some last remarks and FYI:
I digged up my voltage measurements of the various flash units I use (more
serious/higher than I thought..):
Chinese (obscure) Yin-Yan tiny 35mm flash unit: 265 volts (the same nasty
behaviour as Georges chinese flash unit).
Metz 60 CT-2: 25 volts (probably ok for safe use)
Olympus Auto Quick 310: 235 volt (pretty high, but the Olympus OM2 still
functions ok)
Bowens Monolite 400: 175 volts (so that's why my fingertips "tinkle" when I
touch my all metal Calumet C400..;-)..)
It seems that 6 volts is the preffered voltage, upto 30 is probably ok: data
from the Paramountcord website: is not in the air anymore, but can be found
back through the Way Back Maschine:

(and for those using digicams.

So the Metz is ok for my Bronica RF, the studioflash isn't, but the RF isn't a
good studio camera, for that I use my Bronica SQA, which can take this high
voltage (until now...)
Probably much more than you wanted to know..;-)..
Best,
Cor
