Nimslo Shocker
Hey all,
I attatched a cheapo flash unit (similar to the Flashmagic for the 3D magic
camera) to my Nimslo a couple of days ago, and upon tripping the shutter was
given a very scary and powerful electric shock, strong enough to make me
convulse, scream and drop the camera to the ground. I went to pick it up
again (O.K... this was stupid), and was again shocked, this time strong
enough to singe my index finger and palm. I can't stress enough how painful
this was. I ultimately put on a pair of oven mitts and banged it against the
refrigerator (gently) until the flash slid off.
I can't imagine that it's a common problem with the Nimslo... is it? Or is
it just a very cheaply made flash? I don't really know how it could have
energized the entire camera, as it seems to have a standard shoe. Now, I'm
scared to death to put my real Vivitar flash on it (with 4 as opposed to the
2 AA batteries.) Any Ideas?
Perhaps it's a Themelized Negative Reinforcement Nimslo. ;-[
