I just these back from Aaron at Rumpelstiltskin.  He meticulously tore into the bridge pickup, cleaned all the magnets, re-laquered them to keep them from rusting, rewound the bridge pup, re-potted the neck pickup and here they are.  I will put them back into my 1964 Telecaster this afternoon.  We will hear them together for the first time.  They have been sitting in my room for over 10 years because the bridge pickup broke for the second time and I didn't know who to send it to.  Since Aaron has been helping so much and knows so much about vintage pickups, I sent them to him to be restored. Output is 6.79K ohms on the bridge and 6.46K ohms on the neck.  A set of Custom Shop Texas Specials were in the Tele for the past 10 years.   I am also going to order some of his '50's black rope specials that are based off of the lap steel pickup Keith Richards uses.  I think the output on that bridge will be around 9.5K ohms.
