although the flash tube shows (fits novatron 2103FC it has the wrong pin out) however you can easly change the pins to fit the head correctly. I moved the third over to the correct hole that mated with the flash head and all worked great. I am sure that Novatron will correct the issue as soon as they get establish with their owner. Novatron has always been a great purchase.
