Richard is absolutely wonderful! I got his name from people on this list, he
got my optacon working again for a very reasonable price (and quite promptly as
you say, even calling me to tell me of the progress of its repair,) and I now
have an optacon which I love for the first time again in about five years. He
replaced my battery, too--among other things.
Ann,

Hi Don,
I am new to this list.
When I was in high school, I was trained to use the Optacon but it did not
go any further after that.
I wish very badly, that my teacher had encouraged my parents or rehab
counselor to pursue getting me one.
I could truly use one at this juncture in my life.
It is my understanding that Optacons are no longer manufactured.
Could you tell me if there are places, internet or otherwise, if and/or
where they are sold?
I would appreciate any one's help or advice.
Thanks very much.
Cathy
