Re: [TenTec] Head Phones

Jim:

The best 'phones for cw are the old style magnetic types because they 
have a resonance around 800 Hz.  I found new mil HS-19 headphones at 
Army Surplus Warehouse (http://armysurpluswarehouse.com).
The other option would be aircraft headphones.  Search the aviation 
supply web sites. You might be able to restore your Telex headphones or 
fix up a set of David Clark 'phones. Marv Golden Pilot Supply has 
replacement parts and ear cushions.
