Vernier Throttle Type

[Parker_Woodruff]

Does anyone know what is involved and how much it would cost to convert my twist or press button then push vernier engine control to a more "traditional" vernier where twisting isn't required and the awkward pushing the button and pushing in also isn't required for takeoff roll? 

It's not a necessity, but I can't say I'm totally a fan of this setup.  Maybe on a turbocharged aircraft, but not this one.  But if it would only cost a couple hundred dollars to change, I wouldn't be opposed.

Funny.  I just went the other way with my mixture control.  I could not get the ROP where I wanted it with the push-pull control and replaced it with a twist type vernier in order to make a finer adjustment without "stops".  The old one would always settle after setting at either 25 ROP or at 110 ROP.   I used one from McFarlane to replace it.
