Couple of Jack Casady questions!
Basvarken:
Maybe this one?

Well the seller was wrong! The 3-way still works perfectly. The transformer is loose inside the base however. That switch would be a good replacement, but I might not need it... yet.
One thing I've noticed is that one of the tuners has bent. The peg, aft of the end of the mounting arm/axle, has bent. I might try heating it and gently returning it to the correct shape. If that doesn't work then I'm on the hunt for a replacement.
The frets are tarnished and a wee bit worn, so they will be getting leveled.
There are a few chips in the paint, so I will drop-fill these. there is a sort of scuzzily scratched up area on the side of the body, through to the wood. Lots of narrow-width but deep scratches. Not sure yet how I will tackle them.

Replacing the tuners might be a good idea anyway. It is a chance to cure the neck dive, if you use light weight tuners!

I put a set of Hipshot HB6C - 1/2" Ultralite tuners on mine and they are excellent.
Rather than fill the existing holes I just put the original screws back in.

Here's mine with Gotoh res-o-lites.
