Subject: Flash connector on the TL120-1

The TL120-1 has a hot shoe. It does not have a PC or (more
desirable) 1/8" (3.5mm) jack for flash. I have used various
hot shoe to PC and 1/8" adapters and hate them all. Is anyone
else interested in retro-fitting a body-mounted flash connector?

I'm actively investigating this and thinking out my solution.
If someone else is interested, I may take a different tact
than if I am just doing it to my TL-120s.

I was tempted to say that you don't really want it, except A) that's a typical useless and annoying response, and B) now that I see your disassembly pics, it's maybe not so hard.

My experience with disassembling cameras generally results in a spring flying off and finding the most obscure hiding place in my home and curse words being uttered. Thanks for saving me from my own curiosity.

That said, I use a trigger in the hot shoe.
