You're good.
What amazes me and we see these Teisco guitars too is as a little kid in a small town with a 3,000 patient mental hospital where I grew up.... the 5 and dime store (anyone remember those...) sold Teisco guitars. They were considerably cheaper than the "real" guitars that one could purchase down the street at the Music Mart.
The Music Mart sold G*bson, Kay, Fender, Martin etc. A 2 pup Kay back then like a 175 would cost you $125 and include a case. Back at Murphy's the 5 and dime store the three pup Teisco was displayed over the stairs leading down to the basement and marked at $49.
I have a bit of a photographic memory for numbers....
Anyway these things, Teisco guitars were junk back then and no one played out with them that I was aware of. Instead Les Pauls and SG's though a twin or a bandmaster were the rage.
Move forward 50 years and this junk can sell on eBay for $800 at times.... Amazing....
I get-it that they are cool looking and have a sound that can be.... unique.... and I like some of the things such as the switches, etc. but one has to wonder if today's toy guitars will bring big bucks someday when we are all living on the moon or space station.  I can see it now a First Act for 8,000 credits on galactic eBay.... George Jetson would have heart burn....
Anyway sorry for the slight high-jack, good going Dan. My only suggestion is that it would be unusual for the geometry on a solid body to change that radically so perhaps something else such as the configuration of the trem has changed necessitating a mismatch of the neck angle? We frequently see these eBay instruments not being complete in needed, vintage parts and/or some one has cobbled it together with non-original stuff that does not work together.
