Old Newcomb Headphones

Post by Jero »

I have 5 or 6 pairs of newcomb headphones that I have had forever. They are pretty rad but certainly aren't for every day use. I was wondering if anyone had some cool ideas of what could be done with them? I was thinking about making a set of pickups.

I'll add a pictures of the earpieces later. Each side has 2 mini pickups in it :p

You could definitely use them to mic/pu something. build yourself something with lots of springs and sheets of metal, rig it up with those things and play it with a bow.

Or send me a pair.

And throw your TAFM in the box as a goodie.
