Hi, I'm modding a really old Telefunken WWII Headphone which I sniped on ebay for the looks.
Some time ago I was sniping an AKG K140 (600ohm closed back) because I really liked my other modded K140 and I wanted to have a stock one... but there were some plastic parts missing so I trashed everything except the drivers and a part of its housing.
Since then I felt the urge to slam them into a portable headphone. In the end I never found a decent looking cheap headphone till I stumbled upon these Telefunken.
This is what I thought of so far:
-swap drivers
-dampen
-refurbish
-add ear pads
-check cables... they looks so funky I want to reuse them in order to keep its looks
Day1:
disassembly->
what is this...
oh god what...
but... the cable is even more... unique~
so do these fit the cups?
I guess they do, to a certain extend.
there will be a tad more room, due to the modifications concerning the hole in the front
luckily I own 2 Dremel powertools
it fits, an I got almost 8mm of room for the driver, nice~
well, they fit quite snug, but closing these gaps with glue is no bad idea IMHO
That's all for today,
next up will be checking the cables, some sanding and removing the paint
... silly cables
sadly I won use wood this time :C
