"There is a socket on the back for a remote cord"
That *is* the socket for an M.Grip Cord - except that an original M.Grip
Cord probably would not fit. But (as has been noted before) you need a
piece of two-core audio cable with a 2.5mm jack on each end to duplicate the
effect og the M.Grip Cord.
The Timer mode is a simple intervalometer which is not a feature of the OM
wimders (unless you have an M.AC control box or a Quartz Controller).

Whoa, sounds like a bargain! I have noticed off-brand winders for OM up on

good the were. Does anyone else here use one?
Ali, does yours have a socket that the M.Grip cord might fit into?
cheers,
I recently bought one, seems to be new, "Samigon" brand name on it. Sticker
says "Made in China". Very close in size to the Olympus winder 2. It does
not have an M-Grip Cord socket. It takes 4 AAs, has an "Off" switch, and
Single, Continuous, and Timer modes. Timer mode has selections of 5, 30, and
60 seconds, and 5 minutes. There is a socket on the back for a remote cord.
I've used it a few times, and it has worked very well. Seems very solidly
constructed, and the grip's surface is very well etched and gives an
excellent grip.
I would definitely recommend these as an alternative to purchasing an
Olympus brand on the used market that may have 20 years of use on it.
