David Clark Over-Ear Headphones Right Dome Replacement

Introduction

I received this headset at a garage sale. At 10$ the price was right. From comparing picture on the internet this seems to be a H10-36 set. That is the best identification I could find. The headset has seen better days and was well used. Both the left and right dome were loose, the left dome was cracked and has been replaced. The right dome has the same suspicious rattle as the left dome. The crossover cable had been previously repaired and was just hanging between the left and right dome.
