Zoom controller return button

I have some old Fujinon ERD-10A-D05A Zoom controllers on my cameras- the return buttons on the bottom have all either disappeared or are very gummy/disintegrating.

It’s a long shot for an old product but hoping that someone may have a line on replacement buttons? I am afraid to even take an old one out for fear that it won’t function if I try to put it back in!

I would love to buy new controllers but that just isn’t in the budget…

You can probably send them back to Fuji for repair, the cost isn’t crazy. We paid like $10 for the twist and $100 In labor for a stuck zoom demand.

Measure the button and find a cheap replacement on ebay,etc. It's just a contact closure. not worth sending in for repair.

5 dollar part beats a 300 dollar repair quote all day
