What the thread found

• The Cinema Products/Heden hybrid motor features an integrated amplifier on the motor unit itself.
• A defective position potentiometer will cause the motor to run continuously without stopping.
• Replacing the broken potentiometer with the correct 10kΩ part restores normal motor operation.
• Motors with onboard amplifiers can be connected directly to a Seitz breakout box without requiring a separate external amplifier.
• The hybrid motor is suitable for pulling iris control on film work.

Depends on

• The motor was purchased used on secondary market, so its history and full specifications are unclear.
• Specific pin configurations and cable combinations for 4-pin and 5-pin Lemo connectors were not definitively documented.
• Only one user reported successful operation with Seitz equipment; broader compatibility remains untested.
• The original potentiometer dimensions were not replaced with identical specifications in the repair attempt.
