There is a pot on the one circuit board. It is not labeled. I turned it

It might be calibration for the auto flash. Can't hurt to experiment.

Did you measure the voltages on either side of the TO220 device? I'm
thinking that if it were some type of regulator , (with an "in" or
"out") then you might get a clue from seeing what that looks like.
Maybe the pot controls gate current. Lenny

I checked a manual for a 365. it is a "thyristor" model.

Any beefy device on the HV side will be a SCR as I said earlier, and in
series with an inductor. The voltage across it will match that of the
storage cap.
