. Last week I received two 22,5v alkaline batteries for the Rolleiflash
1 from England and this morning five Osram Vacublitz XP flash bulbs new
old stock from Buenos Aires city. I put the battery into de flash body and
the bulb according the instructions and I became almost amazed when I
pressed the button for the little green test lamp: it worked¡, it flashed
as the instructions describe. It means the circuit is working fine, no
capacitor problems.Now I`'ll read more info about this bulb features, the
box has minimal instructions, they work with X contact. You feel you come
back decades to the past handling these elements, a pleasant sensation to
me.-

I had the Rollei 2,8C bulb flash my father gave me with the camera. Years
ago, my three years old son found it, he opened the plastic bag, ge opened
the flash triangular metal box and he destroyed the capacitor, the test
lamp and circuitry beating them with a stone; he also beat the reflector
with the same stone.
I saw the same flash in a local auction site within the original Rollei
box and bought it last year. I don't know if it was used, but it looks
unused, the refector is still wrapped in the original silk paper and the
parts look clean, pristine.
Now I want to use it and I have two issues: Bulbs and the battery , hoping
the other parts (capacitor and circuitry) are working well
The 22,5v battery has a marginal production today and I found one int the
UK via eBay and found I bouht old bulbsin a local site; I'm waiting for
both items and I expecto to use theflash soon.-
