RE dutchnick
dutchnick, on my 205's you just remove the earpads from the phones (pull them straight off, should be easy...) then there are 4 philips-head screws you undo and the two halves of the cup section should come apart no trouble!
the same thing happened to mine with the drivers separating from the internals, the glue had degraded, so i simply cleaned off all the old glue, put some generic superglue all around the edge of the driver holder inside the cup, put the driver back in and re assembled it all about 5 hours ago as it happens! They're back to full working order now, just got to wait for the smell to go :/.
The only difficult part was getting them back together again, and that was only because the other side kept getting in the way.
Comfortable headphones though, with a nice vintage-y sound, worth the (minimal) maintenance effort every now and then!
Good luck!
