Sorry not replied for a while. Had some issues with the lacqer so i had to sand back down to bare wood and start again with the shellac. Weather has gotten pretty cold again so i havn't been doing too much lately, although i probably have enough coats to be presentable, but not quite as finished looking as the pics before. Might put a few more coats on before i reassemble them. Also need to strip the paint from the grilles and respray them.
In my case a little electrical tape wrapped around the driver and friction. In an ideal world the machining would be exact and they would fit snug. Grado uses some super secret glue (no, it's not hot melt, and i'm 99% certain it's not animal hide either) on their wooden cups. For my next pair (ha) i plan on making some metal threaded inserts to hold grub screws, like on the HP1000s...
Wow that was incredible. Very impressive!
What stops the drivers from rattling in the cups?
