If the entire power supply was within the CU5 it's a problem difficult to
solve. If you found the camera with the same flash circuitry it would be old
and maybe unreliable.  I am offered a modern working ringflash for £30 ($43)
and I might not bother much trying to get my Nikon ringflash's missing
parts.  Philip
