All very true.  I have been wanting a nice old flash gun, but those Star
Wars knuckleheads have driven the price into the *hundreds*.  (The cost
isn't so bad, but to waste one of these gems to make a movie prop gives me
great pain.)

I did find a guy who was selling a triple head flash gun a few months ago,
but can't reach him now.  And the price was only $40.  Dang.

Nobody else using bulbs?  Wow.
