Looks like finding it is going to be the problem. It's gone the way of
the Dodo. I can't even find a picture of one on Google's Image Search.

What you want if you can find one at a reasonable price is a "Mamyia
Cable Release Adapter RC-204". It converts old style cable release
movement, (it has a tapered tapped release socket. on one side and four
gold plated sockets for very thin pin connectors on the other), into the
connections needed to activate and release the shutter of a camera with
electronic remote release. Then all you need is the camera side
connector and a length of three lead wire and a method of cobbling it
all together. I used solder and hot glue, in an old plastic automobile
fuse box. I was able to get a pair of the afor mentioned adapters on
eBay a few years ago for $10 for the pair and built a Pentax compatible
adapter from telephone cable and a micro audio plug. It worked just fine
until flexing the wire caused one of the leads to snap. I plan on
building a second one in one piece with no cable, but just haven't
gotten around to it yet. I had a web page up with an /almost/ step by
step description of the project but that went away with my old web site.

Yep, that's what I'm trying to find. Nothing but dead links from that
page though.
