As someone pointed out, with the economy the way it is, the probability of new research and development is pretty limited, but I wonder if there's a way of finding other Optacons that people have just stashed away and forgotten. Does anybody know how many of both versions were originally produced? Maybe we could find some way of advertising for the ones that still exist. I remember I found five that were just hanging around in the background and were given to me. At least they could be used for parts if they no longer work. The people repairing them for us can certainly find a use for them.
