I'm glad you liked my video, thanks for the positive comment.

Thanks for watching and for your really helpful suggestions and comments. I will take them into account in future videos. I also have a desire to restore a game console, but in my own style, since I myself am a fan of retrogaming and have some collections in this direction. But I have the same passion for audio technology as I do for computer technology.

This is TDS-1, first version. "Phoenix" is TDS-8. But in principle they have many similarities and they are all copies of the Lafayette F-990

Thanks for watching, I'm glad you found something useful for yourself. Did you leave the original drivers there? I'm thinking about choosing drivers with more pronounced low frequencies.

@@CustomFIX Thanks for the answer, if the author does not leave comments unanswered, then it says a lot. Regarding the issue of drivers, I left the original ones. I don't want to change them, I really like the sound of these, first of all, the sound is better than that of modern ones, because it is alive, real. Maybe it would be worth adding bass, but ..... I don't know, in my opinion, the frequencies here are perfectly balanced. I am included. I replaced only the bracket, at first I thought to do the same as you did to restore it, but I don’t like the overall look with the original bracket, the headphones themselves are big and the bracket fits the head and the look was kind of .... I didn’t paint the cups on the headphones, and the carbon film cover, I like it better. Although the way you painted it also looks great. I also replaced the connector with a modern one, although I used a mini Jack 3.5. I thought you used a larger connector, or am I wrong? Thanks again for the idea with the grid, or rather, I was also planning to install the grid, but I couldn't decide how to do it. It turned out to be very easy ..... AND HOW COULDN'T I THINK OF SUCH AN EASY SOLUTION MYSELF. One more question, do you have a video where you sew ear cushions, or did you order them somewhere? Because I don't know how to sew them myself, although I sew products from leather and by hand. But ear pads are a little difficult if you don't see how someone else does it.

Thank you, I try to keep feedback). Regarding the drivers, I like the way they sound, but the low frequencies are lacking. Although they were not made for low frequencies, as far as I understand, these headphones are made for playing live music. The paper driver very accurately conveys all the nuances of the instrumental part, concert. Few people can understand this. I was bombarded with comments like “they need to be thrown away, this is..., they don’t sound good, they’re trash,” etc. Ambishuras had to be invented on the spot, new ones had to be sewn onto the base of the old ones. I showed how much I could sew the ambishur in the video, or rather I couldn’t, because I was partially redoing it already in the process. Yes you are right the plug I used is a large 6.3

@@CustomFIX These headphones have been manufactured for 80 years, and all the acoustics of that period sound different. Those who wrote that this is an old man are people who do not understand sound. My acquaintances who have expensive equipment all prefer headphones of that period. It was nice to talk. I have a subscription and 👍

Mutually, good luck to you!

As you wish. The best job for you personally is to simply wash it well. There are a lot of such channels about restoration, I found it in the grass, washed it in the river, it looks like new, like in the 80s.

yes yes I already understood

This is your opinion, you can always buy new ones.

They were made in the Ukrainian SSR, in Lviv. They were made by your Ukrainian grandparents, maybe your parents. The cattle are ill-mannered.

It's simple, I only had these headphones). I believe in the existence of quadro headphones from the 80s. I know that they were and are, but due to the fact that they did not gain much popularity and could only be heard at an exhibition, people do not know about them. Now they can be purchased but only at auctions. We are, of course, talking about headphones from the 70-80s.

Thank you for rating my video. I don't have much time to shoot videos, but I'm already in the process of filming new content )

To each his own ))

The desire to disassemble and study in adolescence is something we have in common). Usually people with such aspirations end up getting a technical education. As far as I remember, Tetris itself as a game was invented somewhere in the 80s. And it was packaged into a portable console in the 90s. It was with us that it was “Brick Game” and is considered an authentic model.

@@CustomFIX Nice to hear about your similar background, and your restoration was interesting to watch btw! Yes, Tetris has well-known origins, having been developed by Soviet engineer Alexey Pajitnov in 1984 for Electronika 60 computer. And has since gotten lots of clones for all kinds of computers and probably also as many kinds of standalone hardware like this. But I am especially wondering if anyone knows the backgrounds of this particular hardware product. While usually handheld electronic games used to be pricey and branded from famous manufacturers, this was a cheapo "white label" product that came "out of the blue" with a variety of names, never mentioning the actual manufacturer name - at least in any noticeable way. I wonder what might have been the manufacturer, some Chinese or Taiwanese for sure, and what has been their story behind this thing.. There would be a place for a documentary. My one was actually named "Game Fun" instead of "Brick Game", forgot to mention. But looks otherwise exactly same, to the extent of packaging albeit it having colorful print with "Game Fun" logos. Color scheme of the device was same too, white case and yellow buttons.

All I could dig up on this matter: After long trials, Nintendo received the rights to Tetris and released its gameboy complete with a Tetris cartridge. It turns out that the Gameboy was the official portable Tetris console. According to known data, 32 million devices and 15 million cartridges were sold. I think with such success, pirated products began to be produced and sent simultaneously to all parts of the world under different names. I don't think it's possible to find a beginning for this. The beginning is most likely, all the factories and basements of electronics in China at the same time) A separate, full-fledged history of Teris piracy could be recreated by taking interviews from various witnesses of what was happening in China at that time. But that is another story )

Thank. At the moment I don’t have a workshop and there’s simply no room for a tool park. The pads are very soft, I don't feel any wrinkles. )

I do not think so. I gained experience. Now I like them visually, and I will replace the drivers with imports. Everyone has the right to their opinion.

Thank you, I will take your suggestion into account. I think I'll need this. )

@@CustomFIX You are welcomed anytime! Would love to have a further talk for any potential collab, if possible, may i know your E?

Of course, I added the email address in the channel description.

@@CustomFIX Email sent! Looking forward to a further talk!

You are right, but not entirely. These are Soviet TDS-1 headphones, I described this in the description of the video. "Phoenix" are TDS-8 headphones. They have the same drivers. But in fact, both one and the other were a copy of the Lafayette F-990. )

I bought it on Ali. "RUIXIN Pro Metal Material Knife Sharpener"

@@CustomFIX Thanks! like it

I took the contacts from my daughter's old toy. It was necessary to show this so as not to mislead the audience. Thanks for watching. )

@@CustomFIX Add this one to skill bucket: you can easily and relatively safely electroplate the contacts with nickel at home. I have found that i loathe the usual nickel acetate method and i use nickel citrate instead. Also don't make the same mistake as i did, so take it slow when priming the solution and use as little salt as at all possible. I heard that you can use saccharine as a chemical brightener and i tried and i can tell for certain i haven't ruined the solution but i also can't see that it was helpful at all. You should get a lot better outcome from a professionally formulated solution like the one from Tifoo but i haven't tried. Also don't make the mistake of buying cheap battery nickel strip and hoping that it's actually nickel. I thought "it's probably not the best thing but i can try" and no, no, it galled the solution so fiercely. You do need a high purity nickel electrode. You can also run the electroplating process basically in reverse in any salt electrolyte to electrically clean and ablate the surface and prepare it to accept the plating. Originally the battery terminal is of course chrome plated but i am not about to suggest you do that at home. I basically do electronics repairs on a weekly basis. The most out there thing i have done is rebuilding a CCFL monitor to LED backlight, including partial PSU redesign, and just the whole process of manipulating the LCD layers without breaking them is quite something.

I have already ordered an electrode for nickel plating, although I am not sure of its quality, I will have to experiment. I purchased the solution from a local electroplating company. 3 solutions of “Galvanic degreaser”, “Activator”, “Solution for nickel plating” and separately distilled water for rinsing. I’m also thinking of experimenting with copper plating, silver plating, etc., as time permits. Very interesting note about the reverse process to remove the coating and further processing, thank you. Like you, I changed CCFL to LED backlight). Now there are several Dell u2412m, you need to change your native LED to a Chinese one.

Happens to everyone

I'm glad you liked my video! Thanks for your constructive comment. ))

As one of my subscribers recently wrote to me - a samurai has no goal, a samurai has a path ))

This is a roller for rolling sound insulation )

I agree, modernization could have been added.

Это не реставрация, и не модернизация. Это как изготовление Франкенштейна,-сборка из всего, что под рукой. Я как имеющий опыт в радиотехнике, не понимаю каким образом, можно восстановить прогнившие полностью детали? ...) 😎

Before writing a comment, you should at least watch the video. Where did you see the rotten parts there? All that has rotted there is the foam rubber in the ear pads and the headband of the headphones. And what does rotten foam have to do with your experience in radio engineering? I did not repair rotten electronics with leaking capacitors. Well, don't make yourself look like a fool.

You are right, but not entirely. These are Soviet TDS-1 headphones, I described this in the description of the video. "Phoenix" are TDS-8 headphones. They have the same drivers. But in fact, both one and the other were a copy of the Lafayette F-990.

It's good that there is feedback. If this interferes with watching, then in the next video there will be no typing sound. )

They cannot be spoiled. In essence, they are similar to construction noise protection headphones )

I'm thinking about buying it or assembling it myself. A very necessary thing.

@@CustomFIX very necessary thing yeah. the most good idea it's to assembly it at home, or if you have enough money, you can buy it.

Yes, you are absolutely right, I indicated in the description of the video that these are TDS-1 headphones. They are a copy of the Lafayette F-990, which are famous all over the world. The plug is called DIN-5, but it is no longer used.

У меня есть такие! 😊

Да звук у них фигня полная

Thank! Durable, iron frame, hardened and cannot be bent. But they also weigh 480g respectively.

I agree that the image was not particularly high quality. As far as I know, with an iron you need to use glossy (polished) paper rather than regular paper. I wanted to use a standard classic A4. Next time I will use a laser grower.

@@CustomFIX You can use regular A4 paper! th-cam.com/video/02c9bV6Ggvs/w-d-xo.html

The author uses thin, coated, glossy A4 paper. This is not a simple A4 office sheet. It is impossible to transfer from ordinary office paper with an iron.

@@CustomFIX So I was wrong. I thought it was regular office paper. Thank you!

It's a pity, I'll definitely make it longer in the next video.

@@CustomFIX thanx! Your ASMR is greatable) Can't stop watching and listening!

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the video! )

This is "TDS-1" I indicated this in the description. "Phoenix" is "TDS-8" another series. But these are all copies of the Lafayette F-990.

Thanks ). The blinking pixel is a feature of this part of the game if you select a different number or another game, then the pixel there does not blink. Glad you liked the video! )

Thanks for watching and comments. I hope I won’t have to restore anything, although some of it is already necessary.
