eBay, with a starting bid of US$10000 and watch the "audiophiles" scramble.

Rather than list the stuff you did wrong, I'll just say that you get an A+ for effort. Please do not use that amplifier, as the headsets are the wrong impedance for it. You WILL destroy the coils in the headset. Also, please wax the bakelite earpieces. I suggest Butcher's paste wax. BTW, I have a working pair of those headsets somewhere, and the radio they connect to, also. Cheers, mate.

I know you faked the part where you soldered on the phone plug because you didn’t forget to put the cover on first. One ALWAYS forgets to put the cover on first.
