I have a 4 year old Esprit that the Pan-tilt has gone out on, the camera and zoom lens have tested fine. The Lens is a 6-20x variable motorized lens auto-iris worth somewhere in the neighborhood of $500. The camera is standard res color, I might be able to get $100 for it. The auto zoom part will not work as the circuit boards in the Pan tilt housing are what control it.

I would like to keep the lens, and switch to a b/w camera. Its a standard 1/3" CS mount. does anybody have any suggestions for switching out the camera to another manufacturer that would allow me auto zooming?
