Premium Members Thomas English Posted June 26, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 26, 2014 The plastic cover fell off the dial of my microforce zoom controller. Preston no longer make this item. Any idea where I can get a new one from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Members Charles Papert Posted June 28, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 For what it's worth, I recently had Preston replace my old pot with the new one and I'm glad I did. It's a simple single turn knob, similar to the Panavision zoom stick, much faster to set than the multi-rotation original item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Thomas English Posted June 28, 2014 Author Premium Members Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Did it have a dial Charles? I was looking at the digital microforce and the knob on the bottom was a solid black with no dial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Members Charles Papert Posted June 28, 2014 Premium Members Report Share Posted June 28, 2014 Yes, that is the current model. However they replace the analog-type pots with a different kind of pot. I can try to post a picture on Monday when I'm back at work, but basically imagine a dial that goes from 1 to 10.

Not 11? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
