1985 Tokai Super Edition JSX70 Wiring Question

[antiquodian]

I am working on a 1985 Tokai Super Edition JSX70.

Does anyone know how this thing is wired, what the switches do, etc? I can't seem to find any info on the web.

Thanks for reading.

what the switches do

There's a listing on Reverb that shows a photo of some documentation (original catalogue? manual?) for a JSX70 that suggests it's just 1x Vol, 1x Tone and 3x on-off mini toggles - one for each pickup. This site lists a JSX75 (no idea if there's any difference between a JSX70 and JSX75? They certainly look identical...) that idescribes the controls in the same way too.

Does it sound like your example functions the same way when the controls are operated, or is there some kind of wiring fault that you're wanting to fix on it?

Thanks curtisa!

Yeah I don't think it's working right. For example the tone pot works as a volume pot. And one of the miniswitches (the one for the humbucker presumably) is a 3-way (the other two are 2-way). Maybe the humbucker switch is double coil/single coil/off and the other two are on/off for the single coils. Time for some reverse engineering!

I'm willing to be it will be something along the lines of this (inspiration only):

Hi curtisa, that would also be my suspicion. I can't wait to hear how it sounds when it is actually working (and I have resolved the intonation problem).
