Small Pleasures

I went to Value Village today and aquired a pair of old headphones for $2.00. They're the Old style headphones. they actually look alot like the pair in this picture, but are slightly different.
The old, massive sized stereo plug was a little beat up (and incompatable with most current hardware) so I bought replacement plugs (1/8" mini) from Radio Shack and spent the majority of the afternoon trying to cull my grade ten soldering skills out of the closet. I was never that good at soldering to begin with, so this was about as arduous a process as you can find for a regular saturday afternoon. However, in the end, I, with alot of help from a friend, was able to get everything pieced together and now have a working pair of orriginal retro headphones, fitted for modern devices, without paying the $90 stores are asking for the new replicas.
