[NFBK] Perkins Brailer repair

[Karen Mayne]

I sent one off to Perkins. I can’t remember how much it cost to ship, but they repaired it, and it was good as new. They said usually all they need is a good cleaning. They charged me $60 I think. It was better than buying a whole new Braille rider for seven or $800 ever how much they are now.
