Astron Cap

The '52 that just went for a snip had an Astron cap. Is this original (it didn't look to me as if the wiring has been changed at all) or a replacement?

Also, the 51 tele that was also practically given away for nothing in December: the pots were centralab - I've never seen these before - I assume that they are later replacements (the wiring looked pretty messy)?

I saw that too. It did look stock, but was my guess it was changed a long time ago maybe by the factory? Who knows. It "looked" like a fine example from the pics anyway.

I couldn't see anything else about it that looked wrong (except perhaps I was struggling to see the paint holes and the control screw holes were a bit chewed up).

What a great example - I certainly enjoyed the chance to take a look.
