Does anybody have a wiring diagram of the Nikon MD-12 or a picture of the wiring connections on the board in the handle?
Thanks

OK, here it is. William Sampson was kind enough to send an email with a scan of the manual showing the connections. The board has connections on two sides, The side by the round cylinder has 3 soldered wires, the other side has 4. The side with 4 from the closest edge is purple, gray, yellow, black. The other side has red, orange/white (same solder point). Two of the wires go to the two edges of the contacts that are actuated by the top button, orange to the part with two contacts, yellow to the other one with one shorter contact. There are two switches, the release switch with 2 wires and the changeover switch with 3. Two contacts are closer to each other in these switches (I'll call them edge and middle, the (more) solitary contact as other edge). For the release switch the more solitary post wire is black and the edge contact wire is purple. On the changeover switch, the edge contact closest to the mid contact is red, the mid contact is white and the other edge contact is gray. You can tell the difference between the release and changeover switches by the number of soldered wires, the release switch only has 2. I'll try to get a picture and post it as I think my description may need help - haha.
