I thought Scott Gomez's pages on this subject had been taken down but

If you click on the images you'll see that they're large enough to get a
decent view of the circuit board, how the whole thing goes together and
was designed to plug into the winder as the shutter trigger. Should be
a minor mod to wire in the DSLR remote switch of your choice.
Somewhere I have a circuit board. If I can find it I'll make some
higher res images of it. But not for at least a week. I'm about to go
on vacation to get away from the rigors of retirement. :-)
