Looking for one or more of these, possible rewind candidates, so non-working is acceptable. Any condition except 'in pieces' 
EDIT: Apparently, the base plate mounting holes need to be undamaged. Broken or chipped mounting holes can snag the magnet wire when on a winder.

Hi John,
Thanks! I've shared the photos with my rewind guy, and he tells me the chipped out/broken mounting holes on the bottom plates can cause problems on the winder. Apparently they can easily snag the magnet wire, so he's not able to use those as is. The top one might work with a little repair, do you have a price in mind for just the one?
Thanks again,
Bill

You can fix the holes with super glue and accelerator sold at hobby shops. Build little dams with masking tape, (forms) fill with superglue, spray with accelerator. It dries hard instantly. Repeat if needed. Sand/file to shape and smooth. Paint black if you must. RP

Thanks Ron and Jonathan!
Ron, I was already considering a repair of those broken base plates with epoxy, but the super glue method sounds a bit easier and quicker. I'm not real sure I need three at this point though.
Jonathan, I met Darin and Kelcey at the Emmons Wrap event in San Antonio, and I had already thought about contacting them directly. I'm not sure if they would have 'extra' pickups to sell since they're likely trying to build and sell the pre-ordered guitars I'm sure. But you can apparently request them wound to whatever you want. Definitely worth a try.
On that topic, when I talked with Darin a bit in San Antonio about the plans for parts going forward, he mentioned that they intend to have a really sophisticated online parts ordering system, something like McMaster Carr. You can see and identify the parts you need from the CAD drawings and just put them in a cart and check-out. That would be a HUGE boon to P/P owners everywhere, can't wait!
Check this out, and imagine something like this for steel guitar parts:
