If you can't see, the modules are: Power Overdrive, Phase Shifter, and Dynamic Fuzz. The first two are "goop" potted. Basically unrepairable.
The 5-way Rotary "superswitch" is corroded and some terminals are smashed in. All pots and switches are nasty/scratchy. The dual 9-volt connectors are MIA.
The only good news is, both pups work.
Huge job.
Edit: I like the Electra logo is an upside-down peace sign. Anti-Peace???Last edited by ArtieToo; 04-03-2021, 09:43 AM.

They got a bad rap because they seemed like a gimmic, but they were highly endorsed by the likes of Peter Frampton, Leslie West, Rick Derringer, and others. I'm gonna make this sucka work.

One of my friends actually owns the Electra brand. He is based in Tampa. Lots of cool stuff. He has all of the old schematics, if you need them.Administrator of the SDUGF
