[Md-sligo] I'm back! plus question about brailler repair services?

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

Hi. Glad to hear from you. Hang onto that Brailler, but I don't have a solid 
recommendation for you at the moment.
Look forward to seeing you on the group flight. Debbie is not on it, 
although she organized it. But Judy and I are on it, though not part of the 
group ticket purchase.
Since we meet on the second Saturday of the month and don't change this too 
often, our next meeting is the day before we leave for the convention, 
namely July 8 at 1:30 PM. Meetings from then until November will be at the 
Long Branch Library, 8900 Garland Avenue in Takoma Park. If you can't make 
the July meeting, the August meeting will probably be a picnic at someone's 
house, and the September meeting will depart from normal and be on the third 
Saturday.

Hi all,
As some of you may recall, I moved to the DC area last summer and came
to a Sligo Creek chapter meeting. I enjoyed the chapter and meeting
all of you, but decided to join the Potomac chapter since it was a bit
closer to my apartment. However, my husband and I just moved from the
District to downtown Silver Spring. So, I am planning to join the
Sligo Creek chapter again and start coming regularly to meetings
beginning in July. I also think I'm on the same flight to national
convention as the group of you who are traveling together, so it will
be nice to get to know you guys a bit better.
I'm also writing with a question about repair options for a Perkins
brailler. I bought a refurbished one from the Braille Superstore about
three years ago, and when we moved from Seattle to D.C. last year, we
had it shipped by FedEx. However, something must have happened to it
during shipping, because now the paper feed doesn't open all the way,
and the carriage is getting stuck. I'm not sure what the problem is.
My husband is normally pretty handy, but he couldn't figure out how to
fix it either. Do any of you do repairs for Perkins braillers or know
of a place I could send it? I don't use it that often, but even
refurbished it was expensive, so I don't want to just throw it out
without trying to fix it.
Thanks, Arielle
