Does anyone have a small PM speaker...no more than 1.59-inches in diameter
and 3/8-inch deep that would fit inside a vintage Brush headphone? Ideally I would like to find a high impedance (30K ohms on up) earphone cartridge but can probably make a small speaker work for the purpose I need it. Thanks. W9STB (Please remove NOSPAM from email address when replying) |

Go to the dollar store and get a pair of disposable Walkman headphones. If you want high-Z, have you considered using a crystal microphone in reverse? Digi-Key should have some cheap crystal mike elements. They won't sound as good as a disposable Walkman headphone, though. But they won't sound any worse than the originals. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Scott,
Thanks. I like this idea. Between Andrew in Australia and your suggestion I discovered I had "Goodwilled" my old cell phone but I had a crummy Walkman headphone (with only one side working) in the bottom of a drawer. I appreciate your taking the time to suggest it! Smokey "Scott Dorsey" wrote in message ...
