AKG K81/K518 recable job gone bad--am I screwed?

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hey head-fi. I'm halfway through recabling a pair of AKG 518s and it appears that I've decoupled or melted both of the contacts on the right side driver after successfully hooking up the left pair. Is there any recourse for me? I can't see any place left to solder to, but there is also a lot of melted crap in the area, so I'm not sure. The area where I would have found the contacts just looks completely green and in some cases black, where there is a lot of melted crap. Can I do anything at this point? Or is it off to the store to buy new drivers/headphones? 

 

This is my first ever recable and I have totally written off the cans at this point, so I don't mind hearing that I've totally screwed up, cause I'm buying a new pair anyway. Thanks for your time.

If you've written them off, feel free to dump them my way, I can always use parts to patch up my frankenstein pair of AKG k81/518's. biggrin.gif
