If the pots are loose, it could be that the nuts fastening them to the body just need to be tightened. And if the pots are noisy, it could be that they just haven't been used in a while. The pots are self-cleaning; turn them back and forth twenty or thirty times and see if that doesn't help. The pots are sealed so you should not spray them with cleaner. Somewhere around here is info on a guy that sells used parts and may have some used Alembic Gotoh tuners. The fingerboard may just need cleaning and oiling. There are several threads around here about the right type of oil for a fingerboard. Check the FAQ and Must Reads sections. If the finish is worn to bare wood, you will probably want to at least spray it with some kind of protective clear coat to keep moisture out.
