Hi, Vince. I am still an avid user of the Optacon I myself, so understand why you like what this kind of device does. While I have no first-hand experience with Optacon II, most people on this list seem to highly recommend a man named Richard Oehm, known for repairing and promoting the Optacon's use. I believe he is based in northern California, and his e-mail is oehmelect@xxxxxxxx If anything about this has changed, please post a correction. -Kane To unsubscribe at any time, just send a message to: optacon-l-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the message subject.
