I have some 80's era Sunpaks and Vivitars and, of course, some T-32's.
None of them measures more than the T-32's which are about 12 volts.
The only high voltage flash I have is my original Vivitar 283 purchased
to go with my original OM-1. Probably late 70's since I continued to
use flash bulbs for a while on the OM-1. That old 283 measures about
250 volts.
