  Hi:

  You can probably find a used Wave, but since it is no longer made, this seems like a limiting solution.

  I would suggest the Stratus from Humanware, another Victor product.  It will play CD's or digital books from SD cards, and has text-to-speech, so can play bookshare and other text-based daisy books in addition to human read books such as those from RFB&D (Learning Ally,) and NLS.

  You say newer Victors not compatible with the CD's your son gets.  I find that hard to believe unless he is getting some weird format.  All victor machines play daisy version 2.02 as well as daisy 3.  

  Make sure your info is correct before you pursue an obsolete solution.

    Hi
    My son, Aaron, is a college student.  He has all of his textbooks in audio format on Daisy CDs.  Somehow.... (don't ask!) he managed to lose his VictorReader Wave.  They are not making these anymore and so far I have not be able to locate a website, etc., where I can purchase a new one.  Does anyone have a used Victor Reader Wave you are not using that you would like to sell?  We are desperate!  They used to sell for new for $259 and we will pay the same price for a good working Victor Reader Wave.  (The new Victors are not compatable with the Daisy CDs my son has right now.)
    Thanks for your help!
    PS  If you have one and will be at the state convention on Saturday, I could purchase it at that time.
