Is there a answer for this

I bought this old pick guard on a whim. I thought it would be good inspiration to build a whacked out Teisco style ax. You know something kind of out there.

I liked the four pickup design and my intent was to use something more modern and high gain but there not a standard size they are 1 1/16 X3" so I'll either do my first pickup wind or re-case something I like.

Biggest trouble is the wiring. I don't really have a clue how to wire the pickups into the current configuration (which I think I would like to keep) or just redo it all. I'm not sure of how this is supposed to function and searching the web for drawings has been futile so far. The three way switch may have something to do with changing phase I'm not sure.

Anyway here are some pics and if any of you have any experience, thoughts, suggestions or know where I can find some answers I would be grateful if you shared.
Thanks all
Dutch

It is off a Teisco Spectrum 4 if that helps. Are the switches just on and off for the pickups? Maybe you can't see it in the picture but there are capacitors on the three way. Any thoughts on how I could determine what the functions are.

Just bumping this one more time to see if someone from another time zone can educate me.

Just send the pickguard to me. I have a Spectrum 4 with a hideously disfigured pickguard on it. I need yours. No one will help you. You must help me!

Seriously, run the pickups through the slider switches, then to the pots. Ignore the switch on the bass side of the pickguard. It has a "rhythm-lead" feature. You will not like it.

In fact, let me get even more serious: working on this project will cause you nothing but heartbreak. You should avoid the waste of money, time, and energy. Send me the pickguard. I will send good karmic vibrations flowing toward you. The value of those vibrations--well, they are truly priceless.

Thanks Teiscoman. If it becomes to much for me or if I loose any sleep over it then it will be heading your way.

A nobleman indeed.
