I tried. I cannot post pics.
Wow, that's a nice looking guitar!! How do those pickups sound? Are they gold foil (as some guitars were in the 60's)?
Cheers

The same thing. Except for the modern set of tuning keys. The old one`s were junk. 4 had plastic knobs. Two were chrome. They wouldn`t turn anyways.
A nice new set of chrome Gotoh tuners fixed that. It sounds and plays good. The new tuners are so smooth. A big difference.

Back in 2017. I bought a 1969 Teisco Del Ray tulip guitar for $75.00.
It sat for over 7 years. I decided to try and fix it and see what happens. The tuners were seized up. I was afraid of cracking the headstock drilling out the holes for the tuners. I didn`t even know if the electronics were any good. A new set of tuners, Some cleaning and strings brought it back to life.
Now I have another electric to add to my arsenal.
