atkelar | Update: Vintage Headphones Upgrade @atkelar | Uploaded November 2023 | Updated October 2024, 13 hours ago.
It was bound to happen sooner or later: I'll have to re-visit some of my projects to tidy up loose ends or improve something based on your feedback. These will hardly ever warrant a full blown project video, but also might be worth sharing. This is the first one of such videos, where I follow up on the vintage headphones restoration, by adding a leather wrapper to the headband. This was suggested by a viewer in the comments of the original video; Note that I still couldn't find any pictures of these *with* any wrapper on the metal band, but it sounds enough like a mod that anybody who had to use them back in the day would make sooner or later. This is the first official "update" video I'm making, with post-project additions, fixes and improvements. It's probably going to be recurring, but at irregular intervals. What do you think?
