The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

Hi guys i'm looking for a Racal Minilite Headset, or just the mic

I'm needing one to finish my x-wing helmet

Is there anyone who makes copys or has one for sale?


Thanks in advance

Are you sure it's a Racal Minilite headset you need for an X-Wing helmet?

I just looked on Jez's http://www.starwarshelmets.com site and the X-Wing helmet he has on there looks like it has a different mic on it, like this one:

I think it depends on the movie helmet you are reproducing-

All of the x-wing pilot helmets had Racal microphones in A New Hope:

I believe for Empire and Jedi they had the microphone you posted Harry.

EDIT- fixed broken picture link

Have you tried contacting RA?

http://www.richiesarmor.com/misc.htm
About 3/4 down the page.

I know that Steve of RA is a member here and from what I remember there was some talk of not producing them anymore.
(although I could be mistaken on that)

Never hurts to ask.

I have a Racal Minilite for sale... Contact me via PM if interested... I will sell it for what I paid for it (EDIT: Paid exactly £62 for it one year ago so that equals $126.50 today folks...) Thought back then I would have use for it but I'm making Apone, Ferro and Drake and none of them has got the Minilite so I guess I was wrong :-)
