The NFB Independence Market sells the Speechmaster Color Identifier for
$135.00 + shipping and handling.  This is not an APH product.   

The item can be ordered online at 
http://secure.nfb.org/ecommerce/asp/product.asp?product=606&cat=112&ph=&
keywords=&recor=&SearchFor=&PT_ID=

Folks can also contact the Independence Market by phone at 410-659-9314,
extension 2216, for more information or to place an order.

I don't know if NFB's store sells them or not, but in any case you can
go to the APH's web site and get the information on color scanners.  I
think the web site for them is www.aph.org or maybe aph.com

Maybe someone else on the list knows for certain, else just google APH
and you'll get the web site.
