My Luthier was able to fix the original bridge pickup(it doesn't need to be rewound). Sounds great now !

Thanks Charles! By the way,is there a trick to getting the bridge cover on and off easily?
Here are some pictures of the new pot and cap my luthier installed.He changed the wiring too.Originally it was wired as both pickups out of phase in the middle position.Now it is more like the tradition tele wiring.
These were the pots that were in it,I think only one was original.

Your mileage may vary! I just seem to squeeze mine at just the right place in the curvature of the cover and it pops off much more easily...riotonsunset wrote:Thanks Charles! By the way,is there a trick to getting the bridge cover on and off easily?

Happy to hear it all worked out for you.
Judging by the state of the solder on the back of that old pot it's likely that bad wiring was the cause of your trouble.
