I'd suggest you just send them to me to check them out, but then EdR would give me a hassle. ;)
I think the SD hums have been fairly consistent in their characteristics for a given model pickup ('59, JB, DCustom, DDistortion) since they first came out sometime in the very late 70's. Their original double creams would have to be from prior to 1985.
Can you clarify what it is you have? Do the metal frame / baseplates have a plain bottom or is there an impressed "Seymour Duncan Pickups" and logo in the frame? Is there a small white sticker with some words or a model code?

Are you able to determine what exactly is the nature of the problem you mentioned? A problem with the interface wiring is not a big deal, but if a rewind of one coil is required that is somewhat more involved something probably best left to an authority to handle.

You can just as easily send it to Seymour Duncan. They fix about any pup and are very reasonable.
