This is a vintage Telex headset [see photos]. The box says: "5X5 PRO I TELEX® FAA -TSO-C-57-58 CAT. B...WT. 8 OZ." [see photo #1]. However, the headset itself says "5X5® Mark II Telex...Minneapolis, Minnesota...FAA-TSO-C-57-58 CAT. B...WT. .4 LBS" [see photo #5]. Possibly the former owner 'upgraded' and put their old set into the new box? 

The old head pads were oxidized and crumbling so they have been replaced. The boom mike rotates smoothly and can be either right side or left side; there is a clip on the cord to attach to your shirt; the ear bud is there; and the mike & headset plugs are in good condition. This hasn't been tested in an airplane but all wires seem to be in good condition with no breaks or bends. The headband is adjustable from both sides for total comfort.  Box is sturdy hard-impact black plastic. Nice all around. No warranty on this item.

Looking to replace your old headset or looking for a lightweight Telex? Here it is.



 

Cuba removes new car purchase restrictions

Fri, 20 Dec 2013

Granma, the Communist Party’s newspaper of record in Cuba, said Wednesday that the Council of Ministers approved regulations that “eliminate existing mechanisms of approval for the purchase of motor vehicles from the state.” That means the sale of new and used cars will be allowed to the public. Up until now, Cubans could buy and sell vehicles to each other, but they had to request permission from the government to purchase a new vehicle -- the main reason for the island's unique automotive landscape. The new laws will be enacted gradually, according to Granma, with a set minimum price.
