How do I repair a cordless headphone

[davidwfaulkner]

Yet again my cordless headphones broke and after contacting the manufacturer (VDO) and being told that spare parts were not available I decided to mend them in a way that would prevent further breakages.

They say a picture paints a thousand words so have a look at the attached....it has worked well so far...

Took me about an hour for each pair, a small dab of superglue will hold them in their fial position.

1-shows the broken part
2-file off the raised pips......
3-.......so they look like this
4-cut off 7mm of 15mm diameter copper tube.......
5-.......to make this
6-cut it.......
7-.......to make this
8-hammer it flat
9-mark 12mm in from the end.......
10-.......and bend it to this shape
11-try it in position, small adjustments can be made by squeezing it to make a tight fit
12-file the edges and round the corners, spray it black and fit into place

Pretty neat eh ?
