I found pick-ups as low as $19.99 each for this but where could you find the switchplate and parts?

The switchplate would be the easy part, look for available pics to see how many ply the original is, then purchase a blank and simply cut it out. The outline should be visible in the guitar's finish. Slide switches at Radio Shack.....or eBay, as well as the knobs and pots. The pickup rings may be a problem for you.

ALL things come to a patient man......

8) I would think it would be rather easy to find the parts. I see several other japanese made models of this same type on the bay and I would think they were sourced from the same japanese manufacturer as were many parts for the early Electra models. Good Luck :up:
