Yep for sure, I can try to find it, just remember it's for the yh-100 not the yh-1s
I can't say if it would be any help, I have 0 experience when yh-1s

I'll send you a PM if/when I find it. I'm just on my phone atm

 

[tony22]

Appreciate the effort.

Appreciate the effort.

No worries

All work associated with the mod is thanks to BMF and friends, I take 0 credit for it

If I recall he reduced all the names in the doc to just the begining letter for privacy

EDIT: looking at that PDF again, it seems to be just about the mod not opening the cans, I think I have pictures on my mod let me check

Looks like I'm missing a few of them, must of gotten lost when my old SD card gave up the ghost

but here's the link to my post on this thread about my mod. You can see what I mean about the screws

anyone's got a spare YH100 for sale/trade? I don't care about condition as long as the drivers are fine, the stock shell is of no concern to me.

Replaced the magnets on TDS-7 single sided , super efficient can drive directly from dx50. Just tested on bare drivers.
Double sided too risky the magnets are too strong and you need proper rig to assemble them.

ebay.de had one today, went for 162 euro.

That's a crazy price. They don't usually go for more than 100-120 in the best condition.

Re YH100 price : I can't have been looking too closely but even before the revival, they would average $200 , the highest I saw them go for was close to $400 at the height of vintage Ortho craze. I would have thought $200 - $250 would not be unreasonable and $150 would be a great find.   Even the YHD1 hovers around $200.

 

[GREQ]

Most vintage headphone prices are ridiculous now.
Even for historically significant or collectors headphones, some prices are just senseless.

Actually, I am the one who won that auction today. I haven't seen a yh100 for less than 150 for a few years now, at least in auctions which are available to us international buyers.So, I don't find that price to be unreasonable.
But if any of you wants to sell your yh100 for $100-120, I am all ears!

 

[Armaegis]

What's so unreasonable about prices going up when a rare item becomes more sought after?

 

[MDR30]

Nothing new under the sun.
 
Recent designs and patents to improve flow/sound waves through shape of openings/holes in magnet design or baffle application?
 
Here's Yamaha's 1980s rather rare square hole magnet construction, where the squares widen at the surface.
