T-51 Wiring question

[tonemonster58]

Hello all,

Just bought a T-51 from a board member but there is a wiring issue that need to be corrected. I want to set it back to original but the PDF wiring diagram on this site is hard to make out. Can someone tell me what the cap value is and verify if the pots are supposed to be 250's?

Thanks!

No idea of the original spec on a T-51, but you'd never go wrong wiring it up like a Tele, would you (although I prefer a 0.022μF cap over the 0.047μF)? The 250kΩ pots really help to curb the trebly trebly on singles (compared to the typical Hamer 500kΩ pots). The RS Superpot kits back off this somewhat with volume pots around 280kΩ.

Of course, there's always the four-way switch (both pickups in series) to provide another (really hot) color option.
