Prospec Flash question

Hi, I just won a Pentax Super Program on eBay and it comes with a Prospec 716AF flash unit. I can't find any information on this at all. I've looked and looked and have come up with zero. The main thing I need to know is the trigger voltage for it. Can anyone please help??

*sigh* I guess no one knows. I have no idea how I'm going to find this information, I don't think "Prospec" is even in business anymore..

Why don't you find out yourself. Read this post.

Most flashes are not complicated. If you find out that that voltage is safe, post photos of the flash here. Someone may figure out how to use it.

Ah, I didn't think of testing the voltage myself, thanks SOldBear. I do still wish I could find the manufacturer's specifications and whatnot, but it would appear they've been out of business for a long time and there are barely any references to them on the 'net (and most of those are to lenses, not flashes).
