[Elecraft] CM-500 - Replacing the ear cushions

[Harry Yingst]

 The way to do is is actually quite simple:

Loosen the three screws then pull the old cushion off; Do Not Remove the screws.

Take the new ear cushion and Stretch the part that will go in the slot

Then working quickly (before it stretches back) work it into the open slot.

On the side with the cord you may need to remove the bottom screw to get enough clearance for the strain relief for the cord to fit.

Retighten the screws and you are done.




Here is a video showing how to do it on a pair of Sennheiser HD280 that may help https://youtu.be/zUtC-MatRD8
Note: CM-500 have screws that clamp down on the ear cushions and Sennheiser's do not, but the technique is similar.
