Functioning unknown… A professional-grade portable electronic flash unit featuring a remote sensor and thyristor circuitry. Introduced in 1972, the Vivitar 283 became one of the most successful and longest-running professional flash units in history. It revolutionized portable lighting with its thyristor circuit, which recycled unused energy back into the capacitor, allowing for faster recycle times and longer battery life.
