Taylor 410CE possible bad output jack
I have a customer bringing in a Taylor 410CE with intermittent problem pickup output cutting out. It has the 2 AA battery system I understand that Taylor no longer makes any repair parts for this system. If it is the output jack assembly causing the problem, I assume then that the whole system would have to be replaced. I have also heard the replacement system that uses 2 aa batteries does not have great reviews from customers online. Anyone know what the options would be? Thanks for any replies. Jack

I had one in the shop not long ago… batteries were completely corroded! There is a mod for those… are we allowed to link YouTube videos on here? It’s not my video, but it does explain the mod…

Yes, you can get the ES 1.3-9v retro kit from Taylor. It does come with a AA power supply. But, make sure to get in there with a mirror first. There could be a ball end or steel wool on the magnetic top sensor that will cause static, distortion and all kinds of funky noise. You can use another strong magnet to pull the steel wool off the sensor.
I’ve also had luck cleaning the power supply. If it’s just the spring at the end that’s corroded you can clean it with some vinegar and a dowel with some double stick sandpaper on the end to scrub it clean again.
