I'm gonna just take notify off and stop replying because you've made it pretty clear, a couple of replies ago, that you're not interested in fixing the problem, you're interested in being "right" through a method you didn't even invent.
Let it go, man, you look like a pissed off cheerleader for "team Andy"...
Its a shame you took it that way. I'm not interested in being right, I'm interesting in helping you get it to work. When you were trying to hook this thing up to an IPAC I tried to be helpful and steer you towards the right piece of hardware for your goals not because I wanted to be right but again because I was trying to help you.
"if you get it wired up using factory wiring and not the way the three of us suggested, Im sure we'd all like to see how you did it." Doesn't sound at all like I don't want you to be able to get it to work but that if you get it to work by other means I'd like to know about it, in case anyone else has the same issue.
You arent giving me anything to work with, "wired it up like Andy said" is insufficient data. Did you try to wire up both pots, did you just try the one? how did you test in? in windows control panel or in MAME? But i digress. If you get it fixed with your arcade guy just share the fix if you want to try and help the community. All I ever said was that Andy is an expert on his own hardware, and he supports his hardware, odd of you to take offense at that.
Best of luck with it. 
Nice try, but a load of BS. This was you:
"You dont want to listen to us, so Im not sure why you even bothered to post. Andy is the defacto expert on his products, and he's helped me enough that I know the right way to wire pots to an APAC. The advice he gave to you is the advice he gave to me AND IT WORKS."
Words of a man who thinks he, and Andy, are right. Basically, this is you telling me i should just shut up and listen because "you" (and the people here commenting) & Andy were right.
But what you don't know, which is obviously quite a bit, is even "Andy", the "defacto expert" has emailed me and admitted that my situation was more complex that he originally thought and, "give a few hours", he could find a way around the problem.
I gave you a photo, i gave you a diagram, i explained how i wanted it to work. I explained (and SHOWED you) how it came wired. If there was any more info, there would be a seminar being held. I laid the whole thing out for you and even your "defacto expert" (which you were implying already had the answer) DID NOT WORK.
It's more complex of a harness than you figured. There's probably a piece of hardware in there causing it to work differently. Even the guy who made the APAC said so.
Say it with me "I don't know".
Learn this phrase. Believe me when i tell you that it will set you free if you just look beyond your ego and your assumption that Andy has seen it all before. You "assumed" WAY too much about this situation and well, you know what they say about assuming

The bottom line here, and even the defacto expert agrees is that the situation is not what everyone here assumed it was and the "generic" way, that YOU are preaching about......does....not....work.
I'm done with this situation and done with you but to be honest, i just came back once more to set you straight and maybe educate you a little about assuming things.
Have a nice day
