Jerry_Atrick Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I have a pair of EQ1 headsets and was wanting to get in touch with the manufacturer. It was previously manufactured/distributed by microlight.com.au (I think).. Have they gone bust? Have they sold the rights to Lightspeed (I notice they have a wireless headset now)?

Jerry_Atrick Posted March 26, 2020 Author Share Posted March 26, 2020 @gareth lacey - yes - I bought them direct from the company. I have searched the internet - the site - microlight.com.au doesn't exist and the last FB post (I joined just to be able to see it) was from 2017 or 2018... I take it there has been nothing in the local press over the last couple of years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winjee Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Gordon Marshall was great to do business with. Early on I asked him for another contact should it be required. He said " YES BUT YOU WON'T ENJOY IT". We had a problem, made the contact (farm) sent the units back with details, and waited. The units were returned to the best of my belief packed as sent with ZERO comment and no different. Gordon Marshal was not wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry_Atrick Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 Thanks for your responses. Really sad to hear Gordon passed away - I purchased my set directly from him - top chap! I'll give the manufacturer a go - are they still being made at least? Cheers, JA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFguy Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 you can buy a battery pack from the net- see my post to Lyle last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyle janke Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 HI All as there seems to be a group of us who have EQ-1 headsets with no ongoing support apparently . we perhaps should backtrack to find why the sale of business means that the current owner would not be interested in keeping this excellent product supported & selling more of them . it is not as though they were cheap chinese knock-off`s when they were being made & marketed by great people & companies where do we start in the search ???

Noel Davies Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 Thanks for that. The set that isn't working already has new batteries. What I need is a repairer or to buy another matching set. Regards Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFguy Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 what's the fault ? please describe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Davies Posted July 15, 2022 Share Posted July 15, 2022 No sound at all. When you press the button to turn it on there is no recognition signal/sound. I gave it to a couple of retired mates who have some avionic experience, but they didn't have the equipment to chase it further. It is now with my guitar luthier who is a retired RAAF avionics tech (he does mainly guitar amps now) he said he will try to look at it this week Regards Noel Ps. Thankyou for your interest and do you have any suggestions as to where I could advertise for a second hand unit. (or a whole system) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RFguy Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 (edited) Sounds like a very simple fault to me. (but I have electronics in low earth orbit, so headsets are simple- although they are annoyingly fiddly to diassemble and reassemble) . but this one sounds like a simple fault in the separate electronics box. I'd suggest the usual suspects- Australian aviation buy swap and sell https://www.facebook.com/groups/796324257055294 Edited July 16, 2022 by RFguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
