Turn on the flash and wait until ten or twenty seconds after the flash ready light comes on. Put the leads of a meter across the center contact and the shoe ground. If it is under thirty or so volts, you should be fine. Some old flashes have sync voltages of two hundred or more volts. Definitely NOT fine.
