I'm seriously thinking about rebuilding these with SR-60 drivers and a recable...

 

[phergus_25]

due to them being closed maby some K81DJs if it would fit.

 

[Mercuttio]

Yeah, careful man. SR60s sound like poo if they're closed...

Honky mids? You'll have to drill holes in the housings

How about these? : http://www.audiocubes.com/category/H...eadphones.html

Not quite as vintage but interesting looking.

Surely the problem with those military 'phones would be a horrific lack of comfort. Sure they'd look cool, but if you can't wear them without your ears hurting, then it doesn't matter if they sound like an orpheus, you've wasted your money on the re-driver/re-cabling.

youd probably have more fun modding a sr-60 by itself. those vintage phones have noting to salvage on it

That page was blocked for me, too.


For shame, ebay. For shame!

The (eBay) often pulls ads for sale of cigars..........which are also, sometimes, rather far beyond "vintage". Ebay is often off somewhere in the bizarro zone.
BTW has anyone noticed the very steep decline of used headphone ads on eBay (as compared to last year's listings)?

Here's the pics for those of you who can't see them:

I wonder what they sound like, being mono and all.

 

[Duggeh]

Id be very surprised if you could fit a Grado driver into those. Also, the original drivers onside those headphones can if they havent been looked after well, go all rusty and manky, making dismantling the housings difficult if not impossible.

I look forward to seeing your efforts if you try thou. Good luck.

Yeah, I've got an old pair of phones that look very similar to those except with a leather headband. I got um free at a garage sale and have only used them with a Edison Talking Machine wax cylinder recorder. I kinda poked around with them but they are soooo painful to wear and heavy for the size,.. or for any sized headphones. I think there's probably about half a telephone's worth of bakelite in those 2 little earphones. But it is a very cool conversation piece . Do what I do with this old stuff that you don't really want to restore,.. put it in a place of honor in a display case and make up some totally crazy historical significance it has and print it on a little card beside it.( ie. " worn by Marcel Proust's personal secretary during typing of the now missing, long version of Remembrances of Things Past ")

Are you SURE those aren't actually a torture device? One can use a TRS plug for many things..
