Nikon Marine (Underwater) Speedlight SB-103

SB-103 TTL Marine (Underwater) Speedlight

THIS SPEEDLIGHT WAS RECALLED BY NIKON - Recall notice follows

All NIKONOS Speedlight SB-103 (excluding Sync Cord, Bracket and Wide Adapter SW-103) 66,073 units manufactured from June, 1984 through July, 1994

"Please be informed that the NIKONOS Speedlight SB-103, of which sales ended November, 1994, has been identified as a potential source of accident. If the product is used in full compliance with the instructions and cautions in the instruction manual, there will be no problem. In rare cases, however, if charged and uncharged NiCd batteries are used together, hydrogen gas may be discharged by the batteries. If this gas then mixes with air inside the body of the SB-103, it is possible that the mixed gas could be ignited by an electric spark at the time of firing, causing a burst of the flash head. In order to prevent such an accident from occurring, Nikon is seeking to withdraw the SB-103 (excluding Sync Cord, Bracket and Wide-Adapter SW-103) from active use and replace it with the SB-105. If you own one of these products -- the SB-103 -- we ask that you contact the Nikon distributor / importer in your country.Please note that this offer of exchange is only available for the SB-103 Speedlight. We ask for your understanding in regards to this matter, and deeply apologize for any inconvenience. We look forward to continuing to serve you with the world's finest quality photographic products."
