v3 Advancer knob (replacement)

Product Description:

This knob replaces the v1 and v2 knobs. 

Version history:

v1 knob: Phillips screw on the end of the knob

v2 knob: Small set screw on the grip surface

v3 knob: Large M4 set screw on the grip surface

If you have a v1 knob or if you have excessive issues with the v2 knob, please get in touch us and describe the problem for a free replacement.

This is a set of two knobs - meaning you only have to add them to your cart once.

How to identify problems with the v1 knob:

Due to some problems with the initial design and manufacturing on the first batch of Advancers (2021), we have made a new, retrofit-able knob - the v2 knob. This fixes the attachment issue caused by the v1 design. If you have any of the following symptoms you should consider getting replacing your v1 knobs with these v2 knobs:

• Replace if, when you turn the knob on one side, the other side does not rotate
• Replace if, the screw that keeps the knob in place keeps unscrewing and need re-tightening
• Replace if, when film passes through and you use the knob to advance, only one knob rotates
• Replace if, you turn one knob and you see the rubber wheels just slide against each other and squeak, instead of turning in sync
• Replace if, your axles rattle even if they have been screwed in place

Do not replace if your Advancer makes a high-pitched squeaky noise - this is likely from metal rubbing against metal. In this case, please apply a tiny drop of oil on each of the four contact points between the axles and the black frame of the Advancer.

If you are unsure if you should have this knob, please email VALOI at hello@valoi.co
