so, anyone here sniped the T10's last night?

 

[nick n]

Not I, were you bidding on it or was it a buyout listing?
Is it just me or are more of them surfacing lately, seems when i first got into stuff like that they were nowhere to be found, but that could just be me paying attention?? hard to tell.

 

[MuZo2]

Yeah seems T10 and T20rpII are more common on ebay now a days.

 

[GREQ]

I low-balled it and someone outbid me. 
 
But yeah, I think there have been about 4 or 5 in the past few months.

 

[MuZo2]

Did anyone score Wharfedale Isodynamic now?

I took the one from the UK.

^ It has to be tapped onto speakers terminals so work something out IMHO.

If anyone is struggling for pads for their T20v2 there are pads on ebay advertised for AKG K240, they are £3.98, memory foam and fit pretty much perfect

Well, they are probably too thick, and have too large of a center opening. 
 
Anyway, my YHD-3 got here. Clips are not broken. 
 
The strut isn't so much broken as broken out of the frame. As though it were never properly glued in the first place. A bit of the root ball is still stuck to the frame, but the rest has broken off of that. I could fix this with superglue. I will carefully consider what adhesive i use. A really light coating of jb-weld might be better. jb-weld with a drop of xylene mixed in maybe, and a real long curing time. 
 
fwiw both drivers are marked 4517. 
 
The baffles are of course really gross from decomposed greasy foam rubber, so they are taking a bath in my branson ultrasonic cleaner. 
 
I wonder if these are a good candidate for the pads I pulled off of some 'iFrogz ear pollution' headphones years ago. 
 
The previous owner made a valiant attempt at recabling but his soldering skills were not great. easy fix. the grommets are missing -- might pull something off of a donor headphone. like say those ifrogz. 

 

[nick n]

Sounds salvagable.
I tried looking for ifrogz from posts way back in here but ended up using AKG K26P and K414P ones, easier to source.
 
How are the INSIDES of the cups for goop? Baffles yes but curious if there is any need to open these here ( it will bug me until I do though )
the YHE50A had a very thin disc of foam inside so assume these did/do also

 

[ericj]

Original damping materials, and one of the baffle o-rings, are missing. There was adhesive goo on the outside ring of the drivers, removed with alcohol.

I figure i will remove the driver retention clips and seal the drivers to the baffles with thin silicone rtv, provided that no mods to the front fabric are recommended.
