Pickups for GRECO EX800 1981 explorer

Hello my name is Enrique i have to change the pickups in my Greco 1981 explorer they are dying ,a long way from 1981 .
Asking in Japanese guitar forum,a guy sayed to me that originals Pu was MAXON U-2000 PAF (or T-TOP) Alnico 5 pickups.
Someboy knows where can i buy those PU,OR something like originals PU
My mind is open and other kind of Brands ,Semyour ,Dimarcio or Gibson ,whatever .
I need your opinions .I know that the subjet of pickups is very personal but i need that explain why choose a model or another.

PD: I like the originals but they are dead.......OR any pickups with the original pickups tone ,or similar settings.
Thank u
Enrique

PD2: What about those 80's dirty fingers?
