Those older (pre SCA 300) flashes will not work with the later SCA 300 standard adapters. They need their dedicated C** adapters. Vice versa, the C** adapters do not work on later SCA300 compatible flashes. If you *have* the correct adapter, everything works fine.
I think the one for the LX is C80 but I could be wrong. These sometimes turn up on Ebay but you will need some patience.

During eighties such kits were being provided by Metz but at that time i did not have the LX and C/Y gears to use with SCA 500C. Unfortunately Metz and dealer/agent for Pakistan are now unable to upgrade the flashes. I intend to use these workhorses for Pentax LX/ZX5 with SCA 372 and for C/Y AX/103P with SCA 380. Seeking guidance/advice from my Pentax colleagues if such kit was installed by a member and still this job is being carried out by a techanician in their vicinity" I suggest that you contact Bogen and ask if the upgrade kits are available. You can e-mail them at: [EMAIL PROTECTED] this website indicates that some repairs are available for those units: http://www.bogenimaging.us/service/repair_pricing_metz.html I hope this helps.
