I have a Variax 300 Acoustic Steel that I bought used. History, the person that owned it did not have the battery holder that houses the AA batteries. Therefore, they used a 9 volt and finally someone tried to wire in a 9V plug to use with a power cable so that no battery / batteries were required. I wanted to make it right so I purchased a JTV Variax Cable Power kit. The guitar would work for about 10 seconds and then stop working. I could pull the cord out and plug back in and it would work for 10 seconds and quit.
I took the guitar to an authorized Line 6 dealer in my area and he indicated the "board is fried". The dealer indicated that this board cannot be purchased from Line 6 as it is no longer produced.
I really like the guitar and still use it as is but I want to try to make it work as intended electrically. Does anyone have a similar experience? Any suggestions on where to find a replacement part (if it exists)?
Thanks, Jim
