Sold Bowens 400 B 2 Studio Flash Kit

[mwdake]

I have a kit of 2 Bowens 400B Studio Flash mono lights that comes with various attachments.
There are also some stands, not sure if they were original to the kit.
The kit comes in its own case.

These are old units but appear to be working. One flash fires every time while the other you seem to have to refresh the capacitor.
Local pick up only in Tampa Bay area unless someone needs them really bad for their museum and is willing to pay for shipping with a custom box at UPS or the like.
I’ll post a few pictures if there is any interest.

The case measures about 36x14x9 inches and weighs about 25 lb I’m guessing.
There are a few reflectors etc that are not in the case; not sure if they are original to the kit.

I have a set of Bowens 200B (I think) flashes that are probably similar. They have worked really well for me over the years, and as long as the flash tubes are still good, they can be great.
Two cautions:
1) if they are of the same vintage as mine, they don't fit the "current" standard Bowens accessories - they are bigger; and
2) their trigger voltage is high - meaning use them with safe-synch protection or remote triggers.
My location kit is nicely portable, and in combination with umbrella reflectors, it gives great results.
Hope yours finds a good home. It would probably be helpful to share photos and dimensions.

Thanks for that, I’ll add some photos etc

No interest so dropped them off at the local Salvation Army thrift.
