Re: in need of 68 Teisco Barth wiring schematic
Are the slide switches 2-way or 3-way? DPDT? SPDT? DP3T? What resistance is each pot?
I'm guessing it's going to be like a Mustang, or maybe Duo-Sonic just using a slide switch per pickup, and/or something like a Jaquar without the second volume/tone circuit. The value of the pots and what the switches are will tell.
Also found these on the internet. Does this look like what you have?

Then they are just simple on-off switches for the pickups. The second schematic is probably what it would be. It's like a Jaguar without the complications of the 3rd switch that selects the second set of vol/tone pots.
Hard to see, how many conductor wires coming from the pickups? 2 or 3 (peeking out of the gray insulation)?

2, a shielded white wire. Doesn't the second schematic show 3 wire pickups? What are the grounds going to? I'm new to this so I'll probably ask some dumb questions. Mechanics is my strong point not electronics. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: in need of 68 Teisco Barth wiring schematic
Hard to tell what it might have been originally. Potentiometers seem to be wired reverse of normal; e.g. the wiper is being used as the pickup connection. And with 2-conductor wire going to a switch with a common ground running through the middle, makes me wonder how it was wired or how it ever worked.
My guess to get it working would be something like the diagram below, which just gives you an on-off switch for each pickup. I left the pots wired reverse because they should work like that and it will cut down the amount of rewiring you need to do for now. (If the pots spin the wrong way or have weird volume drops when turned certain ways, then you'll need to redo the pots also.)
I just have it using one side of the switch to connect the pickups grounds (since the pickup wire is 2-conductor and you can't route the ground wires somewhere else as easily) and the other half of the switch is handling turning the pickup on and off. If you are really a stickler for getting it back to stock, I have no idea what it would have been and I think it would take having to search Google in Japanese for an original schematic; Teisco being a Japanese company in the 1960s.
I'd test this with alligator clip wires before heating up the solder iron.
