Sounds like you got it all sorted out with the help of the club. The 5534 ICs in there all have similar date codes and I suspect they are original. Same with the FET. Just enjoy it until you have an appointment to get the RF upgrade.

Thanks for the help, everyone!

Yes, the "rainbow ribbon" is what connects everything except the pickups to your preamp board.  Power, controls, p/u selector switch, etc.  It terminates in a large multi-pin connector right there at the corner of the board.
