My father pulled out his old Super Ikonta 533/16 camera and wanted
to use an electronic flash (which I have to find). What shutter speed
should be used with the X-sync setting?

Thanks.

The 533/16 synchronizes at all speeds as it has a central leaf shutter. It
is a very good camera.

Vincent,

Thanks for the quick feedback! He already shot a roll of Provia
outside and they came out great. Now where the heck did I store
that old flash....

Check looking through the back of the camera before you burn any film but it
should sync at all speeds.
