I hope this is the correct forum where I can reach to K1000 owners, current or former.
Basically what I need is the replcement pads, or sometimes refered as "temple" pad here by some Head-Fiers.
There are two pads (right-front and left-rear) come off the housing.
The base of the right-front pad is beyond repair which means the leather is torn from the plastic backing.
Accoring to AKG US distributor located in southern California, the part numbers are listed below, and the cost of all four is just above USD 100, although I don't have to purchase the whole set.
(2) 2500 M 0201 - Large Cushions
(2) 2500 M 0202 - Small Cushions
My questions are:
1. Is there any other kind of pad replacement out there, instead of the AKG parts?
2. How long will this AKG pad last in general? Do I need to order more while they are still available?
3. Do any of you have extra pads and are willing to sell at reasonable price?
4. How are these pads attached to the housing? Is there any special glue to be purchased, so the plastic housing will not be damaged, for future pad replacement?
5. This is the most confusing part. Why are there large and small cushions? I measured the housing and both are measured at 19.3mm by 31.2mm. Are they talking about height?
Response to any one above will be greatly appreciated.
