The most common solution when an RB67 C lens will not fire the flash is a sync socket replacement. In this case, I replaced the socket, the socket holder, and the spring connector. The first photo shows testing after replacing the socket and it is running 85% efficiency which is very good. Second photo shows the new socket and the third photo shows the old parts that were replaced.
