my pair of HP-2s didn't come with the thumbscrews that lock the earcups in position, and i was wondering if anyone had found any thumbscrews that make adequete replacements for the real deal. thanks!

chances are good that you can find appropriate parts (at least functionally) on mcmaster carr.

be sure that you get "flat contacts" and not pointy ones or you WILL mess up your headphones.

right, i forgot about mcmaster carr. if anyone has the thumbscrews, could you measure the length, diameter and thread count for me? thanks!

i'll shoot lan a PM, thanks!

Lan lost one I think, when he got his pair. I know he was hunting around for a suitable replacement. I asked Larry about it, and he said that the originals were made specifically for the HP1000 but something of a similar size should be around. Lan may have found something by now.

I would imagine that the threading is somewhat standard, there would be no reason for it not to be. I would walk down to your local hardware store with the headphones and find some screws that fit (maybe 10-24, thats just a wild guess), and then you can work from there. Remember, you dont need to test out thumbscrews, just test out any kind of screw/bolt, and write down the threading size. Then you can hop on mcmaster carr or whatever else and find the nice part.

you know, i've got a box of assorted screws in my basement: i'll dig it out tomorrow and start testing. don't know why i didn't think of that, gsteinb88: thanks!

got to OSH or Home Depot. They have all sorts of bolts. Bring the HP-1000's on your neck and then try them in the hole till you find the one you need. then you can cut it to the shorter length. File it down smooth at the tip after you cut and you are good to go.

 

[EdipisReks]

that's a good suggestion, thanks!

Hi, just read your PM. I havn't found a replacement yet as I just havn't been using the HP1000 with work and a relative visiting. I lost mine around the house I believe.

Thanks and likewise if I come across something, I'll probably make/pickup a few just in case I or anybody else lose more. These things are easy to lose. :/
