Rolleiflex firing two older flashes

<p>I'm looking for a cord that will connect my older cameras (Rolleiflex, crown graphic) to two metz hammer head flashes. I was thinking a pc male to two pc females so I could use other flashes as well. I've heard that Paramount will make custom anything cords. I found the Y cord custom order form and I added it up and I was surprised the bill would be around $70, which is more than I would like to spend on some wire. Is there any cheaper way to have the camera fire two non slaved flashes. I would like a wired solution because the optical penut slaves I've tried never seem to work, and even modern canon 580's are not always reliable to fire off the other. I'm not afraid to try and make my own sync cables, I've made xlr audio cables before.<br>

two other questions<br>

I've fried a digital camera directly connecting older flashes to it (Never again with wein safe sync) is there any danger to running all that juice through old batteryless cameras like a rollei or a view camera lens, I wouldn't think so but...<br>

Also has anyone used a rollei locking sync cord? Paramount will add one to any cord for $15 but I was wondering if the flared end would stop me from using it on other cameras, probably fine with a view camera lens pc post but what about other cameras or for example the wein safe sync if I ever wanted to try it with a digital camera.<br>

Thanks<br>

To connect 2 flash heads for my stuido flashes I made my own cables with 1/8 mono audio jacks on 1 end<br>

and purchased a 2 into 1 mono audio connector total cost about $10 from radio shack + 3 flash cables of the length you want also check out the various sync cords ready made at B&H <a href="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Sync-Cords/ci/1214/N/4294550949">http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/buy/Sync-Cords/ci/1214/N/4294550949</a></p>

<p>Has no one ever heard of a Y adapter? They are on close out at $9.99 at Porter's online. Link: <a href="http://www.porters.com/triple-pc-flash-outlet-adapter.html">http://www.porters.com/triple-pc-flash-outlet-adapter.html</a> </p>

<p>For as cheap as radio triggers are, why not just get a set from ebay for $40? Will work with any camera that has a hotshoe or pc connection.</p>
