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???

Oh no, no, no! These things are rare and becoming valuable. Especially the modules. They were actually a good guitar. 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.

IIRC, they used to sell a "pack", that included 3 CD's, that had all the sound samples, a big fold out chart with all the pup specs, and this screwdriver. I think there was also a Duncan bottle opener and a guitar strap. I have all that and don't recall buying anything separately. I don't see it on their webpage now though.
P.S. This one could be available . . . for a price.
:deal:

Cool. I might. I found a website that has many of the diagrams, but many of them are hand drawn and not too clear. I'd appreciate any documentation he might have. This is the X340 model.
Thanks.

Talk about a tough row to hoe. Good luck.

It may not be as bad as I first thought. There are forums and webpages dedicated to this guitar. There are wiring diagrams and old control documentation. The bigger problem is, that someone was in here before with the typical huge blobs of solder where they don't belong.
We'll see.

How much does it weigh assembled?
What year is it?
What year is it?
Late 70s premium Japanese LP copy with the somewhat gimmicky idea of onboard modular FX.
They were surprisingly expensive in their day. Listed almost as high as a Gibson LPC.
Kinda collectible these days. Cool stuff.

Hang on... all the onboard effects are stock? Weird.
Good luck.
