I sometimes think its better to sell the 5 you have (individually) and buy a matching set.
If your 61 Strat has an original finish I would be tempted to do just that

I would apply the same logic to any other of the hardware parts too, even the pickups.

Veering wildly OT for a moment - did you get to see Albert Lee in the end James? I'm going tonight.....
So then your options are:
1. Rewind the original pickup.
2. Buy another one of the same age.
3. Replace it with a modern repro and keep the old dead pickup safe.
I would go for 3, or 1. 2 is daft when you can buy an entire Mexican Fender guitar for less than the price of an original pre-CBS Strat pickup.
