Right when I start to get REAL comfortable with my new triple fi's my dog eats em....    Guys, can this be salvaged easily?  I looked on ebay for parts and googled a bit with no luck.  Can I just send them off somewhere to get some custom molds?  Or if I could somehow find a new plastic tip and fill in the little chip there somehow I should be good right?  I have the old tip but its in very rough shape.

wow, that's awful! only thing you can do is have them made into customs like you said, or sell them to someone who will, and buy yourself a new pair.......

^heck, maybe you can trade with someone who is about to get their TF10's reshelled... with some cash on top, of course

 

[pdiddypdler]

Did you dog eat any of the internals or just the casing because you won't be able to get them reshelled if a driver is missing... o.O

Done!  I'll do it.  Sign me up.  What do I need to do kind internet friend?

This would be my preferred method of repair.  Please keep 'an ear out' for me...

I don't believe so.  To me, the internals look just the same.  Only that first plastic housing that holds the ear buds on.

these drivers are very sensitive... I've seen one that got chewed by a dog in the UM remold thread, and UM didn't accept it... but that one was in much rougher shape.. the best way to do it is send these to custome IEM companies and let them do the examination.. if they don't work.. then take the money back and sell the one functional ear piece.. if they do.. you can save the hassle of fixing these yourself.. and have a more comfortable TF10 with possible improvement in SQ

Or buy another earpiece from someone else. I think there are a few single sided TF10 on the FS/FT/WTB section.
 
Good luck.

I tried to find a listing for this and was unable to.  I tried to post a WTB posting but am not yet allowed.  If you see a listing can you please PM me or reply here?  This would probably be the cheapest option, but I would still probably need to take them to a local electrician of some kind to doctor them up a bit as opposed to hacking them up with glue or something.

I'm sure they're sensitive but the drivers themselves look fine as far as I can tell.  What is the general consensus on the top couple of companies I can trust to send these off to with the best odds of getting them to accept them as/is and do the best work?

It all depends on what you want to spend. Two of the top dogs in quality are Unique Melody and 1964 Ears. You will pay for that, InEarZ, is the price leader with the group buy price from here. I doubt any company would turn them away, since all they need are the drivers and the crossover thats inside.

Honestly I do not want to spend a lot for them, I picked these up for like $100 new.  I just want to be able to listen to them again but would consider going custom if that's the best option.

Then go with InEarZ, group buy price is $85 and free basic artwork $25 value. You could be out the door with shipping next day air for like $103, of course you need impressions done, which can be done for $15 or so with a DIY kit, or $50 from an audiologist, give or take. Other things can raise the price like a custom color, $10 or a better cable for about $30.

That sounds do-able.  Any active group buys going on?  I don't need next day air as these are for personal/casual use and I have a set of Monster Turbines to hold me over.  I was not aware there is a DIY kit available for impressions, pretty cool.  However I will most likely spring for the audiologist, there is a slight chance my employer could cover this as well.  Thanks for the recommendations and quick response.
