Hi Derby,
I would like to find a remote that I can screw in an old manual release
into so that I can use it with my bellows. I made one about 5 years
ago, but couldn't find a neat box to use for the switch. Do you think
there is any chance of modifying the one you have to accept a manual
release?

I know that the bits to make a remote switch for the DS can probably be
had for about 5 bucks (or more or less free if you work in a company
that makes electronic devices, like I do). I had thought about making an
adapter for the Cable Switch F so I can use it on either the DS or the
PZ1. Not that I'm likely to be using the PZ1 much anymore. But I do like
a well made cable - that won't come from me.
These guys are selling remote switches on ebay for $AU20 (plus shipping).

Canon version, but look on ebay for the Pentax).
Mine arrived today. Much larger than the Pentax CS-205, but that's a
plus for me. I hate fiddling around for a small switch, especially when
I'm shooting night shots. Like the Pentax, it is a combo switch and
slider lock, which is much nicer than the Cable Switch F two-finger
action. The cable is twice as long as the CS-205.
