Slight CD3000 refurbishment (not too 56k unfriendly)
Damn. I have easter holidays and intended to pimp my wife's car in order to sell it later, but we are stuck in snow... 
Act of compensation:
My old CD3K, especially the pleather parts, are a bit rotten after 15 years
A bit of leather and industry glue...
Before & after
Bottom side wrinkle-free just isn't possible...
Not as blue as shown in the other pic, here's more realistic daylight

this is too awesome for words, and well deserves a bump!
now I need to find the guts to disassemble my cd1k, find some super soft/thin Manufaktur-like black leather....to see my dream come true
I'm just REALLY scared to screw up the belt system

Don't be scared, it's all cool & easy. As I take a closer look at the pics, I remember that the elastic belt is lead around the whole headband and fixated (kind of) with some metal clips.
You need severe gross motor skills to destroy something...

alright...why reinventing the wheel, ya know?
I've just bought a perfect cd850 :  
I might just desolder the drivers from my cd1k(same as cd3k), and put them in this one...end of story 
my cd1k is seriously beat-up:
  
I bought them second hand in 1996, so I'd say they're quite durable
brand new:
and since these photos some doofus I lent it to almost broke one of the cups(thank you superglue!  )...7 soldering points and I'd be good to go :
   
PS: having second thoughts, I could desolder the 2 headband cables and the jack...so this would only mean 2*2 soldering point on the drivers..and resoldering the jack which is piece of cake 
and the drivers definitely don't look as fragile as Beyer's with their voice coils right under the soldering points..

Quite an idea.
The hardest thing will be getting exchange pads in the long run, guess you'll need experimenting with alien stuff.

pads? I got a stash of genuine cd3k pads, and cd750>cd3k share the same ones 
I'll take off the original cd850 drivers, make damn sure that the 2 wires in the headband are working, desolder the cd1k jack, put the cable through, resolder the jack and the 2 wires from the headband on the 2 drivers.
then I'll have a brand new cd1k

Wouldn't use a stand, puts too much stress on the elastic headband thingy.

Sighhh still waiting on my black leather. In the meantime when i went to purchase leather sewing supplies i got a hold of some red leather (scrap bin) and stitched up the elastic headband. However i don't think it suits the earphone without me repainting the cups.
Tell me what you guys think.

well, do it all over in black if any possible...but sounds like a plan!
anyway, I cannot unscrew the minijack plug, so I need a plan B...I also don't care that the headband assembly is cooked. All I want is to get a proper headband again
I think my best option is to make a new one in thick leather like nikchen did, use some strong glue...and that's it! almost risk-free and pretty much guaranteed result, I like the sound of that

Yeahhh waiting for the black leather to get here... Once i get it i'll glue the headband bit together as well. Should be good.
I've recabled the headphones with SPC and first impressions are that it doesn't sound very different from the stock cable apart from losing a bit of bass and not being as tight.
Will have to let it burn in a bit and report back.
