The most tedious part is pulling the ear pads off (they are simply stuck on with a sticky double-sided tape) and cleaning the residual sticky material off the hard plastic cases to provide a clean bed for the new ear pads to be stuck on (the newer pads have a separate, non-decomposing type of earpad mesh).
I've got a set of Stax SR-202s that need some refurbishment love. The foam inside the earpads has disintegrated, and the headband itself doesn't retain tension.
Is there a reputable business or Stax-loving soul out there who can bring these back to ship shape? The US distributor Yama's Enterprises (or Accutech?) gets all kinds of loathing on this forum, so I wasn't keen to start with them.
I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area - happy to ship anywhere (though for these cans not sure it would be worth shiping outside the US).
Many thanks for your guidance.
