The board doesn't look overly complicated to me (there is a raster image on the page I
linked to), all it has on it besides a DIP-16 IC is a resistor, a tantalum cap and another
axial component which is obscured by wires in the pictures, possibly a (zener?) diode. The
print on the IC is alas covered by a large sticker reading "IC# 7" that IME
often indicates it is a custom-programmed part anyway.
Alas (for you), the only Nikon I own has no
electtornics in it at all.
The only electrical part is the flash contact.

If it has provisions for both a motor winder and an external shutter release, I'd
suspect you'd find a way to interface it nevertheless, were you to try...
One more interesting question would be what kind of lens is required for the recorder
application. IIRC there are no refractive optical elements inside the recorder stand as
it is now, the CRT faceplate is in plain sight behind a cover glass and the selected
filter. I can't measure the distance right now as the recorder is in storage, but
I'd roughly estimate somewhere around 20-30cm to the camera seating plane.
