As a stand-alone power source flash FIL-46 I use a voltage Converter PN-70, manufactured by Kharkiv enterprises “ECHO”.

This leads to rapid failure.

INTO THE KITCHEN COMES BACK “RETRO”
Not so long ago they were — the kitchen shelves until they were driven out by the closed cabinets. The latter, no doubt, has its advantages; but its those same: it was all in the mind; to take something — don’t need every time to open-close the door; but fancy curtains, which sometimes zateryalis shelves gave even a modest kitchen feel like home.
