Most of the older press cameras all used the same type of flash, do you have a flash terminal on your shutter? also, many of the flashes required a solinoid to sync correctly, I know a couple of the shutters I have require the solinoids to sync up, I also have a couple of shutters that have adjustment levers on them for the sync., most of the older press cameras also had brackets on the side, that many of the different flashes fit in.
Can you post a picture of your camera?
