Replacing headphone headbands

I have a set of http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002F74E8/ref=s9_simz_gw_s0_p23_t1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-3&pf_rd_r=14QYZXBCPM2JVM9407X8&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846Sony MDR-7502[/link] headphones that I love using while editing. They came free with a set of 7506's a year or so back, and they're just the right weight to keep on for extended periods in front of the computer. Recently the headband broke; does anyone know of a resource where you can replace something like this?

My last resort is to buy a pair of cheap Sony headphones (one of my kids has a pair of MDR-v150's that seem to have the same attachment), but I was hoping to pick up just the exact headband as the 7502's.

I can find a replacement headband for the 7506's but not the 7502's.
If you like them so much, why not buy another pair?
B&H has them for under $50.

I know... I know... I'm being cheap (Scottish blood takes over). Just spending mucho upgrading everything to i7 system, trying to cut corners. Where'd you find the replacement for the 7506's... B&H?

There may be other sources but I like Trew Audio, only because I've bought some gear from them in the past.
Lots more parts for the 7506 there too.
