One of my latest projects. What are you up to today?

While cleaning my house the other day, I found these old headphones that someone had stepped on years ago. I literally brought these to California when I moved here from Iowa close to 30 years ago. The drivers (speakers) still work, and I've since become something of a Gorilla Glue expert, so I decided to try and fix them. I'll use my Gorilla Glue and a clamp and see what happens. Do you think I will succeed? Koss is a good brand, and I remember that they sound almost as good as my current Sennheiser headphones. Can I pull this off? What are you up to on this sunny and cool Saturday?

Just getting ready for the new week ahead. I hope you get those fixed. I need to get myself a pair of Sennheiser headphones. Top notch quality.

@TheHorse I'm looking at Sennheiser headphones that I can use at work as well, the one with a mic.

My main phones are Sennheiser HD-280 Pros. They cost $100 and are really good.

I am sure it feasible, may be even with a sturdy black tape.

The glue worked fine. With tape, there'd still be some "bend" and they wouldn't fit snugly on my head.

@TheHorse I see, I do not like glue so much, but sometimes it's the only solution.

Spent a good part of the day gardening. Probably overdid it but it had to be done and there's still a lot to do. My carrots are starting to peep up, just little green hairs though.

The repair was successful. Now I have a back-up pair of headphones. Old can be gold. Iike the sound of older stereo speakers more than I like the sound of modern ones.

Those are classic headphones. Gorilla Glue is the best. You got this.

If it holds, I'll attach the "leather" head protector to one spot on the top and call it good.

The headphones are fixed! I saved $50, and then dropped my $50 phone into the sink. God works in mysterious ways.
