I think I saw one on Ebay or in a service manual. It was a little tube with a spring loaded plunger going through it. The device was placed over the shutter release button. When the plunger was pushed flush from the top, it pushed out the bottom . The shutter was adjusted to release just as the plunger came flush with the top of the unit.
