Hey Gang,
The mic on my Telex Airman 850 is out, and Telex is telling me the only price they can quote me is their $200 flat rate

Has anyone sent a telex headset back to get the mic fixed and what did it run? I can't believe it'd be $200 bucks when the headset cost $450 new. The only other deal I have to use is my earpiece from my short lived flight engineer days...
I know we get over charged for everything, uniforms, etc, but this is silly.
Thanks
