Ref the control wiring loom - certainly new pot and some new wires and poor soldering - Can be improved - How does the rest of the guitar stack up ? - I think the whole package needs to be looked at to determine i a good option to buy and at what price
I'm probably buying a 75 Tele this week with new switch and pots - Such guitars can't always be all original - But as long as the price reflects this then so what -
I wouldn't get to hung up about the odd wiring issue, providing no big issues on headstock breaks, etc
On some LPs from that period, the mahogany portion of the body was formed from two pieces. In those cases, the glue line should be visible in the control cavity.
Another thing that (possibly) ought to be in the control cavity is a stamped steel screening piece.
£2300 doesn't sound bad if the woodwork is sound, the refret is good and the pickups are original.

Tuners and plastics are 70s but not original in guitar as was highlighted. Plastic are in white (now aged) with speedy knobs and tuners are 70s deluxe.
My aim is to find 70s gold waffleback tuners and black plastics to give the guitar its original look back,
It will take sometime to find original plastics and tuners though..haha
