2019 RECORDINGS:

list of 5 items

. July 2nd- The Legacy Technology Project. 

presented by Roger Cicchese. Roger writes: The Legacy Technology Project was
started by a deaf blind user of the technology and a teacher of the visually

impaired. It is mostly a response to the high cost of new access technology.
We acquire devices in a variety of ways including contributions, trades and

purchases. The devices are cleaned, repaired, repackaged and distributed at
reasonable prices to places where they can do the most good. If you have
talking

or braille technology that works or does not work, that you would like to
pass on to us, we will find new homes for it. In the past 8 years we have
found

new homes for hundreds of devices including Pac mates, Braille -N-Speaks,
talking GPS devices, disc drive accessories, victor readers and so much
more.

We do not list our inventory as it changes so frequently. But if there is an
item you are seeking, please contact us by email or phone and we will do
what

we can to assist you.
