Hi, Paul.  I have a T-32 or two for sale.  Actually I have 4 T-32's and 
two seems to be enough these days.  All four test to within 1/3 stop of 
each other and all are in pretty good condition.  You can have the best 
looking one for $70 postpaid in the US.

I sometimes use a pair as indicated here to make an inexpensive, 
lightweight 200 watt second flash (one T-32 = 100 watt seconds)

Two of them together with their manual power switches give combinations 
of 25, 50, 100, 125 and 200 watt seconds.  Buy a pair for $130 postpaid 
in the US.  That's much cheaper than a Lumedyne with only 3 power 
settings.  :-)
