: I recently purchased a Teisco Del Rey ET-200 at an auction for $10. I think this guitar is a cool find. It was made around the late 60s in Japan! It was in pretty sad shape when I got it. I have it almost completely restored. I am currently (attempting) to rewire it due to the fact that the wiring was pretty rusted out. Fortunately the pick ups are in good order. It has two harmonica looking pickups, two switches, volume and tone.

: The bridge is ... well...interesting. It has
: a chrome piece that you can pull off, it kinda looks
: like an ash tray when you pull it off.

: Does anyone know where I can find that chrome piece and a proper wiring diagram for the components. I am more interested in a wiring diagram. Any suggeestions would be helpful. Books, online resources or anything of that nature would be great. If any one has the chrome bridge cover part and is interested in selling... I am interested in buying.The local guitar shops won't really help me because they feel the Del Rey isn't worth their time. They also tell me it's not worth my time. I really like this guitar for its nostalgic properties.

I have a Teisco ?G-30 that I bought in the Philippines Clark Air Base Exchange for $25
in 1962. I have been it playing since then. Recently I broke the neck. My friend assures me
that a neck is a neck any neck will work. It dosent have to be a Teisco. I'm not so sure.
I'm taking the neck off now and am going to take it to the guitar repair shops and found out.
I may need to find a Teisco neck.

As far as your wiring problem. I was an aircraft electrician for 4 years in the Air Force and I
now have my own TV/VCR repair shop. I am sure I could draw you out a schematic diagram.
All
I need is a list of all components mounted on you Del Rey body. (I don't know what a Del Ray
looks like. A picture of my ?g-30 can be found at
http://www.guitaremporium.com.au/guitars.html\
it's the Teisco citra 65 found on that page.)

Back to list of components my guitar has :
3 pick-ups
3 pick-up ON/OFF switches
3 pick-up Volume Controls
1 Tone Control
1 Standard Guitar Jack

I need to know the list of your guitar. Also if you have taken off the plate where the Volume
Controls are located. I need to know of any discrete components found inside
such as a capacitor hooked to the Tone Control.
