MIM Strat Needs an Overhaul

Before we begin, kindly note that although the dialog in this video is in Malay, we have not included English captions as the visual content is completely self-explanatory. That being said, we're looking at a hecho en México sunburst Stratocaster that has not been played in a long time, and is currently in none too good shape. Where do we begin, then? Right, all that rust and grime. Dealing with this is going to be a rather daunting task, and it sure looks like we'll have to take everything apart and do a thorough evaluation. Long story short, hardware that can be reused after servicing will be, and that which cannot, replaced. Electronics-wise, perhaps we fare a little better. Owner says the pickups were working the last time he checked, which was two years ago. However, right now, the selector switch is stuck fast and the knobs barely rotate.
