    ...i was thinking of selling my Boodo Khan a while ago but it had issues.

    - the usual centre-gear
    - quite yawly
    - headphones one capsule defect
    - headphones cushions crumbled
    - leatherette window self-recycled (dissolved)

    well, centre-gear and pinch-roller is replaced, also the rubber-ring of the flywheel, head demagnetized and pot cleaned - no clicks, smooth transport and excellent sound
    as for the leatherette i cutted out the window-rests and replaced the window with transparent plastic from a - yes - t-shirt sales-pack...

    as for the headphones i bought a 2nd hand pair of the much better DR-S7, used both capsules and made my own crossover (the DR-S7 have pots for sound). another advantage is a part towards your ear with a smooth plate, no dissolving filth and the cussions from DR-S7 also do not crumble.

    now i do have a fully perfect working DD-100 Boodo Khan in great shape with an upgraded and much better sounding pair of headphones.

    final decision: this is a keeper. i have it now for so many years - i rather keep it :yahoo

    Yep I really regret selling mine in 2018. Had no choice though. Was in between employment at the time and really needed the cash.

    It will be very hard to find one in few years. Just wait and see how demand for this model will go up.

    I've been browsing Yahoo Auctions for the last few months and not much comes up. Good condition units are rare these days.
