Not sure what exact refresh yours is from since they've been on and off the market over time but the original models started production in 1970. My Koss HV/1A dates to about 1974 and I replace the original ear pads from them every couple years for the cost of shipping so they definitely have loads of early parts.

I had those cans back in the day and LOVED them. Great bass response, just a little uncomfortable on the ears. I'd kill to get a pair in decent condition.

Oh yeah, they're definitely one of the better early 70s dynamic driver phones that I've tried. I occasionally see them crop up for not a ton of money on ebay. Probably easier to find the RadioShack rebadged version (Realistic LV-10).
