Thanks for taking the time to do the review and posting the info on refurbishing!!! (appreciated!) I own a pair of Jecklin Electrostats myself
that needs new foam...where did you get the new pads???
Ruud supplied the pads with the headphones. He bought them with the pads in tow. I'm going to get some new ones for this other set I have now, I'm going to contact that w-e-s-t-e-r-w-e-l-l-e-s chap about it although it keeps slipping my mind.
I've also heard you can get them from Quad in Germany, the one that produces the new versions of the old models.

I'm going to email Mr Dürrenmatt pending what the chap as westerwelles says. I believe though that he has not only pads but also a supply of plastic side panels as well.
I have also mailed Uwe at Westerwelle for a price quote. I'm looking forward to hear if there are more suppliers of the pads though. My cat got to the side panels so i will need some of that material too.
The cat used to like sleeping in the headphones for some reason
I must say that, imho, I have never heard /anything/ (speakers or headphones) that sounds better than the Jecklin Electrostats so i think that thy are well worth some TLC & new pads
I sold Jecklin Floats in the mid 70s to the early 80's. Robert Allen Walch (not sure about the spelling of the last name) imported them into the US, along with Transcriptors products. He was located in Milwaukee. If someone could track him down (he would be pretty old or dead by now) he might have some spares.
