P3D Kodak stereo camera

I have been lurking on this list for about a year and it has taught me a lot
as well as providing some amusement with the more heated discussions. 
Fortunately there has been sufficient humour (on most occasions) to get past
these altercations.

I have been dabbling with stereo photography for many years with a Pentax
beam splitter and some multiple exposure anaglyph work.  I joined the
Stereoscopic Society 2 years ago and am now totally hooked.  My most recent
work has been mainly 35mm full frame sequential work using an slr on a slide
bar on tripod.  I have found this to be very tricky due to any subject
movement or sudden change in lighting, not to mention problems of accurate
mounting (separate 2 x 2's) for projection.

Earlier this year I had a bad experience with a mail order purchase of a Fed
stereo camera which completely shredded a film and took me best part of 4
months to get my money back (camera tested and returned in less than 10
days).  I have now purchased a Kodak stereo camera and have just got back my
first test slide film.  Not mounted yet but I am pleased with the results,
although the format is obviously smaller than the Fed.

Now to the reason for this posting - I have no instructions for this camera
and know nothing about the strengths and/or weaknesses of Kodak cameras.  In
particular I am very uncertain of the possiblity of using electronic flash
with this camera.

I would be extremely grateful for any information anyone can provide or
directions to sources of information, particularly an instruction book.

Thank you.
