Some other thoughts:
T-100Ds use the same superstructure as the maple Starfires I, II, and III (most 60s SFs are mahogany) but with fewer appointments--fewer finishes, dot inlays, top binding only, cheaper tuners, wooden bridge, and harp tailpiece. They were produced from 1958 up to about 1973. They came first with Franz PUS which are like slightly underwound P90s with a lot of punch and spank -- great sounding PUs that are very sought after. They also had Mickey Mouse PUs, especially in the mid-60s, but they also have been seen with a variety of other single coil PUs and later with humbuckers.
I know you mentioned interest in the 60s Starfires, but some of the best deals you can find are the Fender-era Starfires built in Westerly, RI and Corona, CA. They are generally heavier builds than 60s variations, have beefier neck profiles, and are poly-finished. However, they are known for excellent build quality, beautiful wood (flamey maple tops, backs, and sides), and nice sounding PUs -- Guild HB-1s, Fender HB-1s, or Seymour Duncan SD-1s (close in specs to a SD-'59). It's not uncommon to find these for anywhere from $1200-1700, which is ridiculous value for an all U.S.-made guitar. They're worth checking out.
