[blindkid] used Perkins Braillers

[Lenora J. Marten]

You may also want to call FBC and see how they can help you. I've 
noticed they're working with adults now as well as children. They
may be able to put you in touch with someone who is no longer using
theirs. Do you know Marc Schmidt? He's pretty involved with both
NFB and FBC. Hey may be able to send you in the right direction.
If you need his e-mail just let me know. ;o)

Lenora--wow, really?  I'll check to see if I can get a similar arrangement
hrough our school. That'd make it seem a lot less risky!

 Sometimes sellers simply don't know how to tell if it's working or not.

 You should be able to get it repaired for free. Call the school and ask
 where they send them for repairs and how long it takes to get them
 back. Here in FL, they say 6-8 weeks for repairs, but when we send
 them in through FSDB, they come back in just a couple of weeks.

 Lenora--thanks!  I'll give that a  try. I've checked ebay, and there is one
 here...it's up to $152 I think, but it's sold "as is," and the seller
 oesn't know if it works....

  Hi Lynda,

  If I'm remembering correctly, you're in AZ? You may try contacting your
  local Lion's Club to see if they are willing to donate one. The Lion's
 Club
  in
  Gilbert donated a Perkins Brailler to Eric when he was in 1st grade.

  Also, one of our moms found one on eBay a few months ago. Although I don't
  remember exactly what she paid, it was a pretty reasonable price.

  Hi all,
  I'm sure this has been asked before, so please forgive yet another query,
  ut is there anywhere that sells used Perkins Braillers at a reasonable
 (ok,
  emi-reasonable at least) price?  The summer looms and our Perkins loaner
  nd BrailleNote got returned to school yesterday.
  thanks,
  ynda Zwinger
