Do you mean that for a spiral or serpentine voice coil? Do you think you could draw up a simple diagram of how you would arrange it?
yes. no.

I have half dead TDS-16. Haven't used them for a while because of flat ear pads. Today I finally got around to replacing pads - and one headphone is silent. I took them apart to see what was going on (suspecting broken cable) and it turned out the face side magnet was broken into 3 pieces. The diaphragm seems intact, I even got them to make a sound for a second when moving the magnet pieces slightly.
I could try to get a replacement driver from Ukraine, but it would be an organisational nightmare. Any chances of gluing the magnet together?
Thanks a million for this link, it did not turn up in my ebay search for some reason. I only found a pair of drivers in Ukraine. I did get things from Ukraine and Russia before, payments and shipment costs were a problem - that's what I meant by "organizational nightmare". Otherwise I would buy a few of these headphones, they are quite common and cheap there.
I'll try to glue the magnet, if it doesn't work, I'll try to get the drivers from ebay - if the price doesn't jump too high. Obviously I wouldn't want to spend more than I paid for the headphones
Edit: I glued the magnet back together but the driver still doesn't work. Not everything can be fixed I guess.
So I'm slowly putting things together to do a diy ortho. Got some capacitor foil in 4 microns and mylar in 1.6 microns planned. Do you dudes think that the poles can be done with two neodymium ring magnets? This would be for a quite small design. Here's a mock-up of what I mean.
