And did you notice the link at the bottom of Scott's page to the next
project - a battery box for the T28 modelling lights?  I will post to that
thread too.  How timely!

I thought Scott Gomez's pages on this subject had been taken down but
they're still there... just moved from where they were 8 years ago.

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.  :-)
