Richard, Welcome to the list! We discuss optacon repair here, among other things. Richard Oehm, of Oehm Electronics here in San Jose, repairs optacons and many of us can testify to his excellent work. There are others, of course, and at least one in the U.K. and perhaps in other parts of the world as well.
