Well i got the right-side earcup reassembled and no dice. I should have checked for contunity to the stators while it was open.
refurbing the left earcup now. The front stator wire was corroded near the solder joint badly enough that it broke off when i removed the screw on that hole. I almost miss the riveted tabs in the esp/9.
Soldered in a new filament of wire for the front stator. This wasn't hard to do, but does require removing the front stator portion of the driver from the back portion and peeling up a corner of the membrane. You don't have to peel it so far as would mess with the tension, so it's all good.
Right now the left driver's hardware is soaking in a 5% solution of acetic acid to try and remove the bulk of the corrosion. Will hit it with a contact cleaner and coat with silicone before reassembly.
I guess i could open up the right-side driver and check the stator wires now . . . .
