graphics, and if  there is a place to check for them to be for sale.I know that
all of the regular flash  tubes have been cannibalized for star wars lightsaber
kits. thanks,

Are you looking for an electronic flash to shoot photos with? Or are you
looking for an old flash unit to sit in a display case next to an old camera?

If you want something to shoot with, you can choose from any of the current
brands.

For old strobes, you might look for Hershey, Ultrablitz, or Graflex Stroboflash
models, among others. What other names am I forgetting?

Have fun.  ...pt

 The most popular strobes were the Graflex strobe and the
Heiland Strobonar strobe. Both had heads which fitted on the
standard flash gun.
 Kodak Flash Supermatic shutters will synch strobe. They
have two sets of contacts. For strobe connect the unit to
the same flash connector used for flash bulbs but do not
cock the synchronizer.
 All of the later Compur shutters used on Graphics have X
synch. Earlier Compurs can be modified for it.
 Wollensak Rapax/Graphex shutters with flash synch have a
switch position for X synch. You can not use strobe with the
focal plane shutter of a Speed Graphic although you can on a
Super-D Graflex SLR.
  There were a few very early strobe units, the Wilcox was
one, which had delay relays in them so that they could be
synchronized with flashbulb synchronizers. These are quite
rare. I suspect such a delay unit could be made easily.
