[Electronics-talk] Braille overlays

[vlewis at suffolk.lib.ny.us]

I also have a GE microwave that I purchased in 2005...I requested and
received braille overlays from GE Customer Service. The overlays stayed on
for several years and I can call and purchase another set, but for now I
have purchased loc-dots from ILA and have put them on the numbers and
controls that I most often use.
