Re: Anyone aware of a Aviation Headset repair shop in Ontari
Hello Al:
If you can live without the headset for a few weeks, I highly recommend sending it back to David Clark.
Years ago (early 1990s), I sent a 5 year old H10-80 to DC for repair and refurbishment, and tucked a US $100 bill into the package, because I didn't know what it would cost to repair it. The headset came back to me by post a few weeks later, good as new, with the same $100 bill enclosed in a baggie. I can't promise that they still do things like that, but I have a very high regard for David Clark.
If you take your headset to a Customs officer at the airport and get a little 'green card' indicating that it is Canadian goods, and if you ask David Clark to send the headset back by USPS (United States Postal Service) and mark it 'Canadian Goods Returning', you will not have to pay import duties on the headset - although you will be obliged to pay GST or HST on any repair charges that are levied.

The Canadian David Clark repair facility is:
Kitchener Aero
Hangar #9 Waterloo Regional Airport
P.O. Box 69
Breslau, Ontario
Canada N0B 1MO
Tel: 519-648-2921
They were great when I needed my 10-13X's repaired a few years ago, and should be able to help without the whole customs hassle of sending directly to DC.

Brant Aero in Brantford has repaired a number of headsets for friends of mine.
