They aren't worth repair, unfortunately, unless you're willing and able
to do the work yourself. Last time I priced a used 280T it was
something like 20 dollars. The minimum repair cost of a more modern
flash is about 300 and right now KEH.com has a AF540FGZ for about
$140.00. Repair simply isn't worth the money.

This was taken with a flaky Vivitar 285HV. All of my Pentax flashes appear to be
dead now. And since all of them are OLD, none will be covered by warranty.
Is there any place I can send them that will actually repair them? Or should I
just trash them & replace?
Unusual for them all to be completely dead. You can recondition capacitors by
setting to manual, then charging and discharging repeatedly. Might take some
time to charge the first few cycles.
