When you replace the term bridge... be careful to get one with the right string spacing. If this guitar is the same as the Aria Dragon Strat... the strings spacing is a bit narrower than on todays guitars. Gotoh has one bridge in the line-up that matches... but most you find hanging in the shops do not. Anyway, you could always tighten the springs and put the trem solidly on the body... and just replace the saddles.

If you plan to change the pickups... best use ones with blades. There is no current manufacturer of single coils with the narrow pole piece spacing.

The same goes for the three way switch, it's smaller than the ones that are available right now. Btw. if someone knows a source of matching replacement five way switches...
