Alligator wiring question

I am looking for info on the value of the tone resistors and pots in alligator - I tried following a link to a schematic in one of the threads but it led to a dead end

anyone have any basic info they could share? It looks like from other threads that one of the tone pots was wired to control the neck and bridge and the other to control the middle PU - sounds like a cool thing to try while I’m in there

any info would be greatly appreciated - thanks much

I used a dual pot for the tone control for the neck and bridge pickups.

Would that be better than putting a jumper between the 2 leads on the switch.

Oh cool - thanks much - that is very helpful

a 250k pot?
Do you happen to know the resistor values?

The tone capacitor was a mylar film type, the value was .1uF. Best bet, use one made by Cornell Dublier.

Don't talk about woodworking or cabinets, it will get you banned.
