Possibly. From your description, I'd guess the the first "bang" was the main capacitor for the flash tube blowing. Those are usually large electrolytic capacitors. If that's what it was, the risk of exposure depends on exactly what's inside. Way back in the '80s, a lot of electrolytic capacitors contained PCBs, but I doubt that's true any more. I have no real idea what's in them today. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
