"TOKAI 57 PAF MODEL" Pickups

[Sigmania]

This version was made in 1983/84?

From the 1984 catalog, there were at least two versions:

TLS50, TLC60, TSG50 had: "'57 PAF Vintage MKII"

TLS60 & 80, TLC 100 & 110, TSG60, TES 100, 150, & 200 had: "'57 PAF Vintage"

"These pickups were in an old early 80's Tokai I owned. From what I understand, these pickups were standard issue in Tokai's built during the early 80's. If you're trying to restore an old Tokai from that time period this is a great choice. The covers look chrome to me & have never been off. The bobbins under the screws look like they are cream. So possibly double whites or maybe zebra bobbins.

Bridge Pickup - 8.28k - 9" lead length Neck Pickup - 8.26k - 14.25" lead length."

Pair of Tokai 57 PAF pickups pulled from a 1983 Tokai LS-60 Les Paul that was a professionally repainted and fully relic'd including all parts, the pickups started out mint and relic'd to look well played.

My el cheap radio shack meter reads...

Neck 8.02k with 15" lead wire
bridge 8.10k with 9-1/2 lead wire

Gold cover. For an TLC model?

I pulled these from my 1983 LS 80 a while back. Zebras with the decal on the baseplate.

The attached pic isn't mine but mine are exactly the same.

Mine read 8.21 and 8.15 resistance on the multimeter.
