Does the location of the strap button on the back make it a little neck-heavy?

Eugene...The location of the strap button is not the original place and it is, indeed, neck heavy.  I am moving it to the original location but first have to remove a 1/8 inch diameter brass insert that filled the screw hole, very nicely I might add.

 
Dave, I will follow up with Mica on the Power Supply.  It may have been used to feed alternate amps/preamps depending on the gig.  The electronics are excellent with batteries and separate neck and bridge pickup outputs to my SWR amps (dual SM-400S).  I haven't mastered the controls on the power supply and am not getting great signals from the neck pickup at present.  Allen

What a find, one of the ancient masters.  Present right after the creation.  Very nice.
 
Now, as if the typewritten hieroglyphics weren't confusing enough . . . . what the hell is a 'piolet'? ? ? ?

Looking at the front of the box, piolet must be hip for pilot light. Also digging the sterio spelling, btw.

I remember this bass well.  I do not know if you are looking for old information posted about this bass here in the past, if so, here are some links:
