Re: [OM] T45 for $200?

Thanks for the update and advice!

The flash takes a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery pack correct?  How is it
possible to leak? (I have not seen a leaked Ni-Cd pack yet, only common
alkaline batteries.)

You won't believe how many times I have bought flash units from ebay, only
to find them beyond repair due to battery leak.  And that's in auctions
where the buyer says that the flash works fine (never tested really).  Most 
sellers apologize and offer a partial refund, but I have had one case where 
the seller insisted that the unit was tested and it worked, and this was one 
of the worse cases I have seen!  It was not even possible to open the 
battery compartment (only with great effort) because the sliding over was 
stuck due to the corrosion underneath!
