Mine was made in 68 and is all original. I inherited it from my grandfather.

I'm about to put P-90's in my ET-200 "tulip", I'll be doing a before & after vid with protools audio, should be fun! Will be using the surface mount GFS jobs.
On my hollow body (like yours) I checked the pickup screw spacing - same as a strat. And I have several Antiquity Texas Hots here. I'm thinking of making a connector harness where I can swap different pups in that thing quickly - want to hear it with singles, humbuckers, etc. Though the stock pups are kinda cool - decent detail and body, but a subtle "AM Radio" vibe.
My ET has the same pups - I wax-potted them, it did kill the screams.

See my post regarding roller bridges - the saddles aren't supposed to "roll", they're threaded for intonation.
The whammy on mine works wonderfully; I imagine your loose bridge is the culprit. I'd try to ID where the play is coming from; set up an ebay search or two with "teisco bridge", etc., and wait for an email when someone adds one.
Also, search for the ebay store of "Lawman mike" - I got the feeling he has boxes of parts laying around - he's a nice guy, might drop him a line.

I only remember because I found the trem in a box of parts last month, spring is missing.

Re: the tremolo, before I gave up on it completely I might try working with it a little. ISTR someone telling me that the joints in the trem can be cleaned and lubed and that will sometimes fix problems with trems not returning to position. Then there's the old tricks like putting graphite in the nut slots.
Good luck,

That mirror finish is supposed to make the trem invisible to the player
