Restoration Project #44 - Tube Era Headphones

In order to test the phone output of the ES-500 scope, I needed proper matching headphones. An online group suggested these from an ongoing e-bay auction. I got lucky with the minimum bid this time and shipping was quite a bit more expensive than the item in this case. At any rate, I think I got another nifty item for my collection and a nice project video out of it.

Note: I did try to do a bit less of timelapse this time... tell me what you think!
