Described as below but all those references are confusing and even seemingly contradictory so please, could one of you Tokologists help me fathom what they are and their merits, or not, in the heirarchy of transducers? ta. Truth is, I need to know asap.
I need them to replace Seymour Duncans in a Gold Star Sound

Tokai Goldstar / Silver Star Strat pickups and electrics - SS / TST 60
1980s Tokai pickups and electrics - taken from Goldstar Sound TST65
I have just removed these from a TST65, which I bought to use as a donor for a Jimmie Vaughan relic. These parts are now not needed and, as I don't know if they came with the guitar originally, they are not much use to me. Apart
from the pickups, the parts here are the same found in my TST 50 and much sought after TST 80 - they comprise:
3 x single coil pickups (alnico magnets, non-staggered) - black plastic bobbin / not stamped. I have added rubber grommets to these, but the original springs come with them too. The screws are good, nickel plated and countersunk ones.
these factors suggest quality parts, but I cannot be sure of the make?
Original Tokai switch - high quality part, stamped '381', and is commonly found in the higher end Tokais. this feels like a 3-way that can be notched into the 5 positions.
3 x full-size Japanese potentiometers - presumably 250k.
Original 'Orange drop' capacitor (based on 60s 'round' Sprague units, as found in the 80s Tokais)
