Well Bob,  I've had a Vivitar 3500 Zoom Thyristor which is quite similar and
a T20
The Vivitar Flash 2500 is quite similar, two AA batteries, manual (OTF) or
red, orange, blue, power settings for the Auto Thyristor, a four position
frensnel zoom, bounce head but no swivel.  It is a fantastic little device
!  Just put a 3X5 white note
card on it with a rubber band and you are a pro !

I think the Vivitar is a much more useful design, unless you have a flash
cord and or
a bounce grip II -- I would advise you stick with the Vivitar 2500.
