Yes, considering age and questionable electronics, a new harness and pots would be wise.

have not touched the electronics yet, except to shoot some contact cleaner, which cleaned up the neck volume to where it's almost scratch-free.

You bet!
I'm quite frustrated right now 'cause we only have "Beatles only" gigs. We don't play a "British Invasion" show for another 2 weeks, so I'll have to wait.

That one's got the same bridge as mine. Interestingly, the output jack is on the face.
