Hello Sally and everyone,

   We had both of our Braille writers repaired and reconditioned by Alan 
Ackley of Ackley Appliance Service, and both Braillers are still working 
fine. His Web site is
http://www.braillerman.com

    Unfortunately, he is in Des Moines, Iowa. Because a school friend of 
mine had hers repaired there, I called Alan Ackley back in 1994. We had 
enough money to send the Braillers to Iowa and get them both fixed. In 
addition, Alan will want you to send a Braille note about what's wrong with 
the Brailler and insert the note into the Brailler. That note would be the 
first thing he will look at. He is also a certified Braille transcriber, so 
he knows and reads Braille well.

    I hope this information helps. There may also be a Brailler repair 
service in El Paso, but do not have the name.

Mary Donahue
