I looked up these photos of the one I had and remember that the pots were connected by wires and were not soldered to the PC board. I can't recall if the PU's have the radius or not but they were definitely humbuckers.
This is the preamp my RJIV has and it is SO amazing. Right now, my RJIV is my #1 go to bass.
 
Dear Lord....all these Dyna5's crawling out now!
Mine never crawled...it thundered into my life in 1991 and has been my favourite bass ever since.

Of course the Dyna 5 put out a thunderous sound played through my Peavey MkIV rig...The Thunder From Down Under!
I have a Mk VI and Scorpion 15 combo that I used for years with lovely carpet covering which now smells like 80's pub carpet. If I ever need to reminisce I simply walk over and sniff it and it's suddenly 1990 in the Coogee Bay Hotel.

I used mine with an XL2 during that period. Didn't own a Peavey bass until '06 or so. Don't think I ever even saw one in the flesh.

I shouldn't have done that; now I have H&C's Talking To A Stranger as an earworm.

Makes you wonder what's down under...
Nothing fancy, stock wiring loom in the photo.

That Palaedium has took a fall and one of the knobs burst through into the control cavity, it was cut way too deep in the first place. Threads on the pots are too short to clear both the top and a PG/control plate so the solution was clear away the top.
