So I got the new 84500 pot for my Thumb, and it's not the same as the old 84500 pot, even though the part number is the same. Hopefully, in the picture, you can see that the new one is missing one pin in the second row of pins, and has two "extra" pins at the bottom. Obviously it will not fit the circuit board. I'm posting here in the hopes that one of you is an MEC wiring expert. I'm also emailing the Warwick Custom Shop, but I've gotten ssslllooow response from them so far.

OK, I take it back. I got a very quick response today from Dan Africano, and I think he will help me work this out.
 
Thanks! I sent some emails too, but had some issues seing the pictures, etc. Glad you solved, mate!
 
I don't see a Thumb. Only pots. Show it;)
 
You have two solutions:

First:
order following part:
M81SP003 R4


Second:

order to the pot aditional M84001which is the pcbboard, than it works as well

I hope it helps :)

Thanks, Florin. With the help of Dan Africano, I think I've found a way for this pot (84500) to work. It involves bending a couple of the pins, and soldering a wire from one of the circuit board connections to the pot ground. Not as complicated as it sounds, and I'll let you know how it works out.
