worktunes ear muff pads

Zachary Hoyt · Aug 3, 2016

I have a set of 3M Worktunes radio ear muffs that had failed internally so I kept them for parts, and when I wore through the vinyl on my new set after a few years I took the pads off the old ones and moved them to the new, but then someone offered to put a new rheostat in the old ones and fixed them and now I would like to get new pads for them, but I haven't found them yet. I am not sure what is the right term for them, so I can Google it, or if they even sell them separately, but I figured someone on here might know since I think other folks here on YT use them. Thank you very much.

I just googled them and lots of places sell them. The place I retired from had replacement pads in the storeroom.

I have an old set of worktunes that went dead this spring...is the rheostat a known problem? I bought a new set to replace them, but boy does the new set eat batteries! The old set would run all summer on two, the new one maybe 50 hours. Seek is a nice feature on the new ones, tho....

Analog or digital? My first set was analog and it just went stone-dead one day. Never tried to diagnose and fix. I bought a new set that is digital and it's been fine except reception is not as good.

Thank you all very much. Mine are digital, and I don't know much about how they work internally, I am not that clever. I did some more googling and it seems that I can get a "hygiene kit" for $10.50 from Amazon that has what I need.

After messing around with the repairs, paying for a hygiene kit w/shipping, I would think it would be better just to buy a new set...they are not that expensive.

I found a hygiene kit for $10.50 with free shipping on eBay and the repairs were done by a fellow who saw them in the shop and offered to fix them for free. He is an electronics
repair person and is interested in getting into instrument building, so he has come by a couple of times to spend an evening while I'm working on things.
