I'll take it, please.

These are relatively easy to repair if the issues are in the power lines/contacts and third party battery inserts are cheap enough to buy if another is needed.

The accessories for these Vivitar work horses really do make it an affordable old, new school strobist workhorse and it's a sham to see these tossed aside for the newest kit, which most photographers do no necessarily need for many jobs, IMO.
