Thanks Les. The bellows has nothing to do with the solendoid except carrying the wiring to it. The solenoid is housed inside the front standard at the bottom. Apparently a "plug-in". I didn't even think of the voltage problem... I guess I'll have to keep my eye open for the Super type and that's it...
Yes, it's deffinitely the solenooid, or lack thereof. I took the front plate off the standard and there's nothing but space where the solenoid should be

So much for buying a Super used without the owner explicitly stating that the electric release works!
Now maybe it's finally time to work up a "holder" for the end of a cable release near the handle. I always wanted to do that anyway...
