I'm not so sure they still do. At one time a dealer could send your
headset
back to DC and they would fix pretty much anything for free. My dealer
informs me this is no longer the case although they might still make minor
repairs for free. I've never tried having one serviced during a fly-in,
so
that's certainly worth a try if you can find a rep out in the field.


They did this to a friend's at Sun & Fun circa 2000.


I had a DC repaired around the same time. Used to be you could send them a
frazled hunk of crap with a DC logo on the side and they would send you back
a fully overhauled headset with new ear pads and a new mic cover. It was
just last year my dealer was telling me the only company still doing major
out of warranty repairs for free was Lightspeed. Perhaps she was just
blowing smoke and was trying to sell me Lightspeed, I don't know, but she is
also a DC dealer so I don't know why she would.

It would be interesting to see if anyone has had a DC repaired for free
lately and what those repairs were.
