Beginning Minolta SRT 101 question

[Josh Simpson]

A friend gave me this camera and a few lenses. I'm very new to all of these terms, so forgive me if I get them wrong. He gave me a flash. The camera does not have a hot shoe on it, so there is a cable the plugs in the side of the camera. However, my dad had a Sunpak auto 422 D flash that he gave me. This seems to be a newer, better flash, but it had no cable.

Does anyone know of a cable for it to attach to cameras? I've googled and ebayed but haven't found much. Would the better bet be to find a Minolta SRT 201 that has the hot shoe on it? Thanks for your help.

There's no shoe?! should have one on it, otherwise how would a flash attach? I know mine had one.
the accessary cable/cord usually comes with the flash, shouldn't be too hard to track one down. I'd try a local camera shop for that one.
manual here.

I'm sorry, I was not clear (remember, newbie). It has a "cold" shoe if that's the correct. Not a hot shoe that triggers the flash. My old minolta flash has the cable that plugs into the camera. My better Sunpak flash... I have not been able to find a cable for that, unless someone knows of one.

Most of the cables are generic, so checking around at camera shops or camera repair should turn up one pretty quick.

Have fun
