15 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- The M-One motor can develop juddering that may be caused by a faulty potentiometer requiring replacement.
- Loon Video experienced significant delays in fulfilling repairs and orders during a facility relocation from California to Montana in early 2011.
- A potentiometer replacement was identified as a potential fix for M-One motors exhibiting juddering problems.
Depends on
- Contact information and repair availability may have changed since 2011.
- The thread does not clarify whether the potentiometer replacement was confirmed as a successful solution.
- Repair timelines were severely impacted by the specific business relocation event and may not reflect normal operating conditions.
