I contacted PJ at Spector in November. He was very polite and tried to help but I couldn't get the original wiring diagram. After I hacked up the wiring so many years ago, I don't remember how it was originally wired. I thought knowing the year it was made might help.
Thanks,
Wayne

I think it's a 1977-1985 NS-6 by looking at the Spector website. It has to be a few years older than 1985 because I bought it used in 1985.
I contacted Spector and they said :
by the look of the guitar it is from 1977-1979.
when you take it to a shop, they can date the pots.
this can help a little with dating the guitar.
the values for the volume and tone pots depend on the pickups that are in it. If they are active EMG pickups then the volumes will be 25K and the tones 250K. if regular pickups the volume will be 500K and the tones 250K.
That number looks like a 6, that would be the number of the guitar from that batch. usually you will find a number like this on the guitar 672077 for example. this would be the 6th instrument completed in the batch from July 20 1977. this info was usually etched into the bridge, string plate on the back of the body, or under the truss rod cover.
Can anyone help me to date this guitar and find out when it was made ? Knowing that, can anyone help with a schematic of how to re-wire it ?
I was going to have it refinished to get all those scratches out, but in reading further on websites like this I now understand that's a bad thing to do.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Wayne
Here's a top view without strings
Here's a top view with strings (about time to start playing it again ! )
Here's the only number I can find on the guitar. Looks like a 6.
Here are the old pots and caps I took out. Missing one pot.
Here's the back view of the newer sealed pots I replaced with.
