Your guitar is a mid 1960's Fuji. Here is a sister guitar for comparison:
Good find, Fuji was a smaller Japanese producer and I doubt many of them were imported into the US. I have no idea who the Gigna distributor was.
Your pots likely just need some contact cleaner, I use DeOxit which you can get on Amazon.
Unlikely you will ever find that tailpiece cover but the tuner bushing come up on eBay from time to time. If you get it in good working order $225-$275 isn't unreasonable. The main thing that holds the price down is one pup. Anyway, you are due a pretty good return on $75.
enjoy

I can’t find anything about a “Gigna” brand. I found an Audition with a similar pickup on Reverb. So maybe it’s a Teisco or a Guyatone.
I was planning to clean this and flip it, but it sounds so good that I might just keep it. For now it will be a restoration project. If anybody recognizes the tailpiece I’d love to know what kind of cover I need to look for.
Here’s a pic:
