pots rotation backwards?

I got a pair of Commodore paddles and when used with Mssiah they seem to work in reverse.
For example: If I turn the knob left than Mssiah will turn right.
I tried wiring a 100K pot and get the same results. Is this supposed to happen?
I trued reading as many posts on the pot mod as I can find and it seems to be mentioned once with no clear conclusion.

Any help would rock. I will be posting some pics of my nearly done Vicious Sid breadbin with some cool new mods I came up with smile

Re: pots rotation backwards?

Hey DJ,

The problem is an easy one to fix. On the pots, you'll see there are three pins: a centre wiper pin, and a pin on either side. You need to switch the wires over on the side pins.

Looking forward to seeing your Vicious Sid! big_smile

Re: pots rotation backwards?

Of course! Sometimes you get caught up and don't think of the obvious. Thank you! I redid the wires on the commodore paddles and my pot mods and all work perfectly! Here are some pics of my almost complete breadbin C64 keytar mod.

more pics and details moved to the C64 mods room (realized this isn't the proper room to go off on tangents)
