[blindkid] used Perkins Braillers

[Lenora J. Marten]

Wow Richard - I was just reading your e-mail. Paying for a brailler 
repair just doesn't seem right! 

When we were in Gilbert (close to Phx) and needed repairs, we sent them 
through Foundation for Blind Children. Cost was never mentioned by them or even
thought about on my part. 
Here, any FL resident can send them to the Daytona
Center for free repairs. However, the center sends them back to
FSDB in a more expedient manner.

I'm not familiar with any free repairs through school. Sounds handy, how have 
ou managed that? It that common elsewhere?
My thought on the $190 AZ listing was if it were close enough, the seller might 
ven work out an inspection or might be at least be more accountable if a local 
ickup were arranged, etc., though shipping is included I think. (Maybe they can 
hip it free matter?)

 Sometimes sellers simply don't know how to tell if it's working or not.
 
 You should be able to get it repaired for free. Call the school and ask
 where they send them for repairs and how long it takes to get them 
 back. Here in FL, they say 6-8 weeks for repairs, but when we send 
 them in through FSDB, they come back in just a couple of weeks.

 Lenora--thanks!  I'll give that a  try. I've checked ebay, and there is one
 here...it's up to $152 I think, but it's sold "as is," and the seller
 oesn't know if it works....

 Hi Lynda,
 
 If I'm remembering correctly, you're in AZ? You may try contacting your
 local Lion's Club to see if they are willing to donate one. The Lion's Club
 in
 Gilbert donated a Perkins Brailler to Eric when he was in 1st grade.
 
 Also, one of our moms found one on eBay a few months ago. Although I don't
 remember exactly what she paid, it was a pretty reasonable price.

 Hi all,
 I'm sure this has been asked before, so please forgive yet another query,
 ut is there anywhere that sells used Perkins Braillers at a reasonable (ok,
 emi-reasonable at least) price?  The summer looms and our Perkins loaner
 nd BrailleNote got returned to school yesterday.
 thanks,
 ynda Zwinger
