Yes, they will work if you have a sync socket on your camera.
Are they any good?
Well...
I'm not sure how old that particular model is. The very old ones, with very basic controls on the rear and (from memory) just full-half-quarter power adjustment were excellent.
The later, much more modern looking ones made about 10 years ago had a better spec but when the Company folded they were sold to another Company that was unfortunate enough to have a fire, and about half of the stock was water damaged.
Unconfirmed rumours are that the water damaged stock was sold instead of being crushed and that the unsuspecting buyers ended up with all sorts of problems.
Just a rumour of course, and probably total rubbish...
Be aware that you'll be very lucky if you can find any light shaping tools on the second hand market, and that there wasn't much of a range available even when they were new.
