As I suspected, electrolytic caps in the transformer box needed time to come to life. FV encountered exactly the same problem. I bet the phones as well need time to fully charge and come back into working regime. I remember reading about SR-007 that exhibited similar problems after being stored for some time.

There's no problem at all with the phone/speaker switch. Cuts on and off with no static. I think these were stored well. There's no dust and the ear pads are still soft and supple with not flaking Since this is the first time I've taken apart an adapter, I'm not sure what the bias supply is. Which parts do I need to take a picture of. There are 3 boards. Two are identical with a couple of caps, some big, grey resistors, some small resistors, small transformers, and some other small parts that I'm not sure of. The 3rd board has some small caps and resistors and maybe some more, it's so close to the transformers that it's hard to see what's on it. I assume the boards just slide out. I tried gently tugging them and they didn't budge, but I don't see any screws holding them in. It looks like they wedged in slots in the plastic. |
