I found a number of these Flash Synchro Sockets yesterday. I presume the screw is to be loosened and wires must be connected from the shutter to make it work. They would be useful for adding flash synchro to Thornton Packard shutters or for DIY repairs. Similar sockets are available on eBay, but those seem to be a bit bulky.

Shipping: Shipping is unfortunately a bit expensive at 900 JPY to most countries via JapanPost untracked Small Packet Air service. It might be better to buy 2 or 3 units to justify the shipping cost. Or if you're buying something else from me, I can include one or more without any shipping fee. Customs duties, VAT and any handling charges levied by the post office or courier in your country are your responsibility.
If you live in the EU, here is a helpful article:
As soon as you buy a product from a non-EU country, then effectively you become an importer and become liable to Customs and Excise Duty as well as Value Added Tax (VAT) payments.

If you live elsewhere, please see your Customs Office website.
If you are buying from me for the first time, please give me your full name, PayPal email, verified street address and phone number and I will send you an invoice. If you would like to use the bank or Wise (wise dot com), please give me this information, and I will send you an invoice and instructions for making the transfer.
Thanks for looking,
