I've been using a Multiface II for some years, and the headphone
pot has never been a problem. But something else has: the silly
ADAT connectors wich have a shutter instead of a dummy plug to
protect them when not used. The shutter hinges (0.5 mm of plastic)
will break and render the connector useless. Not typical for the
Multiface but for all equipment using those crappy connectors.
