And the thread shall rise from the dust....
I sent you a message ALAN check your message section.
I lost the entire post I just wrote up. I guess the actual magic foil sample I got from them ( Free!!! Go get some !!!!!!! ) is working. I contacted PWB a few months ago about these when i asked for my sample Creme Electret and foil, and Mrs. Belt said little about them except that they stopped making headphones in the 70's and had no secret stash of NOS or parts anywhere at all. Oh well. I asked. My dreams were dashed. the rug ripped out from under me. EVERYONE has a secret stash of their old products somewhere in some huge old wharehouse somewhere. Look at all the toys from the 70's they keep finding. Dammit. So after I cried.....
Anyhow I have the same set as alan's there, but mine have no box and are fried i think. Drifting in and out . The plug end is similar to an electret end, 4 prongs with the metal collar. No good really from my NOS AT-705 Electret adapter box, even after giving them a good run for a few days . Better after that but not entirely good.
Can't see how to open these up either. If I could maybe I could see whats up. No idea what the red blotch is either must be a "Beltism" of some sort for improved sound. I do recall that the innards of the adapter boxes were slightly diffrent/proprietory in some aspcts than anything else. More "Beltism" tweaks i assume, so maybe they can't run on anything else properly. Who knows... maybe they ARE crappy 'ol Seiki's.
( my seiki turntable is good at least )
