Help ID in this Rick 8, pot/cap suggestions

[Marc Stone]

Got this steel that appears to be a neck chopped off a multi neck Rick. Maybe? Or a home brew?
I'm guessing 60s or 70s? But not sure.
Has some crappy little pots that I don't think are original. Vol pot clicks off at zero if that means anything to its origin.
If I'm going to be running this alongside regular six string guitars through tube amps, what should I use for pots/caps? Mostly blues/rock stuff. Thinking 250k vol and tone and .047 for a cap to warm things up but open to suggestions.

Thx!

Cool guitar, should be a good player. You're right, it looks like a cut down D8, it's '50s though.

It also looks like it had string pulls at some time, the extra holes on the tuner pan suggest this.

Hey thank you! Great catalog pic and that seems to be the model, a D 16. There was even a signed and dated note from the guy who did the work to chop the double neck into two steels hidden in a secret cavity where one of the leg sockets used to be, covered by a metal plate, and then the felt backing on the guitar. If I hadn't decided to modify the guitar to make it wearable on a strap, I never would've found it.
