Deluxe 5... how is this wired?

[AprioriMark]

These are the passive controls inside the Deluxe 5 I just picked up.  I bought a couple of Bartolini soapbars and a bridge, strung it up, and I'm not seeing how this is supposed to be wired.  It *seems* that one of the volume and the tone pots are 250k, and one volume is 500k?  That seems odd to me.

Yeah, that's what I would guess as well.  I think each of the "signal" leads from the pickups were (or should have been) soldered to the middle ("wiper") lug of each of the 250K and 500K volume pots.

If it were mine, I'd pull everything out and use copper foil to shield the entire cavity before doing anything permanent.
