flash problem

[kamerakid]

I have a Samsung GX1L digital slr. I have been given a sturdy old Vivitar
283 flash unit.

At times, usually inside buildings and large rooms I need a more powerful
flash that the inbuilt one.

Where can I get a slave unit so that I can use this 283 without frying the
Samsungs circuits please?

I am happy to use the flash on a flashbar attached to the tripod socket but
am worried about what sort I need - I presume that I will need one which
ignores the pre-flash too!

Many thanks for any useful pointers.

is it dead yet? can you open it and put a flea collar inside?

when I was a kid there used to be thousands of gnats around.
while changing lenses in the wild I wonder if this happens a lot.
