Notes:
The Little Spitfire and Superette headphones are cheap comsumer grade headphones. Most of the sets I have found have open circuit coils. Having unwound several of the coils, they have all been open at the innermost winding of the ciol where the fine wire meets a heavier connecting wire. They are greenish looking like an acid flux was used that corroded through the wire. Anyway, if you are buying wither of these, or The Scientific Navy Type, they are likely to be dead due to open coils.
