John,
Your description of the sliding tab within the battery door was perfect.
Works very well. So, I could trade this from my 30DX to a 120J TTL? Can the
120J TTL be bought without a module? Or, can the 120J -not TTL- be fitted
with a module? Not sure how that works.
Thanks!

There are two 120J units . . . the 120J Auto and the 120J TTL. The "Auto"
version has a fixed non-removable foot and IIRC it has a 1/4-20 tripod
socket in the bottom but no trigger contacts. It must be wired to a PC
socket, or remoted on bracket and a cord used to connect it to the hot
shoe. The 120J TTL can be used either way . . . Normal-Auto or TTL . . .
and needs a foot. It comes without one.
If you get one, get the battery slab for it (TR-PAK IIA)! It takes forever
to recycle with the 4 "AA" cells. Oddly, the "AA" cells are required even
when the battery slab is being used. They power the TTL electronics and
the HV slab is wired directly to the HV capacitor. Recycle with the slab
is on the order of about 2 second from full dump.
