So, I had a chance to buy a near-mint T-32 and snapped it up even though
I've bought another one from a member of this list. Problem with the near
mint guy is that the foot that slips into the camera shoe is cracked. Now, I
know that if I insert and remove carefully, or wire it up to use off camera,
this won't pose much a problem, but still . . . I was thinking of injecting
some SuperGlue into the crack then sanding off any excess so that the foot
will be a little less vulnerable to arbitrary breakage than it is now. My
sense looking at the unit is that these feet are not replaceable. (If I'm
wrong, someone let me know, okay?) Is the SuperGlue fix reasonable? I
understand this is not an uncommon problem with these flash units, so I'm
wondering what the standard fix is, if there is one?
Thanx!

P.S. A while back there was some discussion about levels inserted into flash
shoes and whether they actually were level in the OM. Was this ever
resolved?
