Don't expect old guns to work immediately without some attention, the contacts and bulb fittings can be quite frail!	Old bulb flashguns These can sometimes be found quite cheaply in secondhand shops, (also from Wiliam Cress) and come in a variety of types for all kinds of bulbs. Some have fixed reflectors and others the folding 'fan' kind. With most guns the reflector is removable. Look for a gun with bulb test and manual fire features. Avoid any that take obsolete 22.5v batteries unless you are prepared to modify the gun to use a modern battery! Some of the later guns operate from 4 AA batteries, and the bigger guns for ES bulbs often use C cells.
