Which flash unit for PF5B bulbs

[richpips]

Hi,

I've seen some PF5B bulbs but haven't a clue what flash unit will fire them.

Please can you point me in the right direction?

Looks like the same that fit into the Kodak DuaFlex and others - it's pretty much generic for the earlier capacitor-based systems.

Thanks for the reply.

Shows a flat fitting? Was there an adaptor?

Yes there was, you dropped the bulb into the adapter then into the gun... when fired you then flicked a lever at the back and the lot popped out... much better than tugging a hot bulb that had a propensity to come off the fitting completely!

Thanks, if anyone knows of a link to the adaptor that would be great.

Another Q. I've read that if you strapped a number of bulbs together that you could trigger them all.

Could I trigger a single or multiples via heat alone (yes I know the glass would pop)

The standard Kodak is flat I think - as is the basic Duaflex, the adapter is for the bayonet type - my mistake.
