home-made ebony bridge which I replaced with a copy
of the original, sounded like gravel in a beer can! I put
the ebony back on. I'm not that concerned with intonation,
I'm just a couch player.

I really feel that contrary to the usual 'original is best' thing with old guitars, this type of thing can only really shine with some hardware upgrades. Leave the crappy old jap tuners in the box, get a bridge you can intonate properly, shim the neck so it angles properly, and you'll likely have a good and useable guitar.
This only applies to the low-mid level catalogue guitars, imho...the higher end ones are fine as they are.

original, but I have a set of Teisco's in the parts stash.
I recently bought a four pickup Telestar that plays and sounds beyond
it's reputation and price. I'm hoping this one is a gem too.
