I googled around and found a few headset shops you can ship it to. This should be a pretty standard fix they are aware of, regardless of brand, since all headsets use standard plugs. You'd be able to do it yourself if you are brave enough:

This may be an issue not with the plug itself but the down cord which they'd need to confirm.
The Telex 8 uses power from the panel to drive the ANR, so you'd have to wire it correctly in order to keep that functionality. I have successfully fixed a Telex headset myself but only needed to resolder some joints in the speaker part of it. The wires are pretty thin.
