AKG 240 MkII Repair Part

This repair may be a lifesaver for owners of AKG 240 MKII head phones whose ear pads have started to overextend (rotation) and then finally died, as happened with mine after I lent them to my son. It turned out that the little plastic thing inside had broken, letting the ear pads rotate freely, which in turn ripped the cables. A small replacement plastic disk did the trick to replace the broken part. My phones now feel like brand new again. Here's how you can fix yours: Use a tiny screwdriver or similar tool to lift off the cover plate (just insert the screwdriver into the little opening and lift). The cover plate is the shiny round sticker thing in the middle of the ear pad with the AKG mark. Unscrew the screws (1 if right, 2 if left) and open it up. Fix any soldering problems and unscrew and remove any plastic fragments left from the disintegrated part. For the right side only, screw a tiny screw into the tiny hole of the new plastic part to tap it in, then remove the screw again. Push the beams into place (use pliers if necessary, but carefully) and put the stretchy band underneath the assembly. Push the assembly into place (keep stretching the band), screw it down, and let go of the stretch band. Screw on the lid and put the cover plate back in place. Done! Your headphones should feel like they are factory new again.
