Title: Tange unique-X headsets?
Post by: oldschoolace on June 16, 2015, 07:47 PM: Anyone have any experience with these?
May have found one. Is the "Fashionable" aspect (as seen in this pic i found on another site) just a lost in translation thing or are they bobbins?

Post by: oldschoolace on June 16, 2015, 11:48 PM: I do indeed Bert ;) well worth the extra 50p a month.
Mine might be cheap Rich but they seem to fetch top dollar of the ones I've seen for sale. I guess because they are scarce?

Dam expensive plug Clint, guessing yours must have the 1 missing from the front of the price at the very least :teef:

Post by: oldschoolace on June 23, 2015, 10:11 PM: :LolLolLolLol: probably Bert. Might try the dishwasher first, they are quite rubbery plastic so may have to look into other possible solutions. Cool and simple design though :)

Post by: Bfellows on June 23, 2015, 10:21 PM: I've tried bleaching rubber grips - week of my life i'll never get back. Might be worth a butchers at the star wars figure / old computer resto sites. They seem to be fairly successful at resurrecting yellow bits......

Post by: oldschoolace on June 23, 2015, 10:31 PM: Great minds and all that Bert, that's exactly what I was thinking. Sure I've seen some toy restoring site on my travels

Post by: chubby on June 24, 2015, 11:50 PM: Think peroxide will do the decals in Clint, you don't have many seagulls up your way anyway :whistle:

Post by: MartyC on June 25, 2015, 03:08 PM: I have one for my Patterson that came with it, mine is blue but faded so hoping to dye it back to a royal blue if I can. The Tange writing on the rubber is long gone on it though.
