Thanks, Jill. Wonder if it is still around.

Aww... did I miss something about needing interpoint? Sorry 'bout that Diane.
I'd recommend the VersaPoint Duo, but I didn't use it enough to know if it
would stand up to the test of time. Jill

I had a Versa-Point at work and liked it, but it only printed on one side.
Thanks though.

I've had phenomenal luck with my Telesensory VersaPoint for over 30
years. It was a free replacement for a pretty terrible, short-lived,
embosser called the MBoss. Guess they were feeling guilty.
Except for replacing the fuse, I hadn't had any trouble with it at all
until about 8-10 years ago with it missing dots. I thought, awww...
It's not like it owed me anything at this point. I figured it was a
solenoid or a wire to it. Of course, TSI, was long gone, and no one
would service it.
My buddy at TSI (retired 10 years) suggested I take it apart. With him
on the phone, holding my breath the whole time, I did. It wasn't a
solenoid at all. It was under the solenoid panel, jammed with a spec
of rock-hard paper! Tweezers, a can of air, an hour, and two pounds of
perspiration later, and everything worked perfectly again. Go figure.
If you do choose to get a used VersaPoint, make sure it's from TSI. It
will be on the cover. It's important to have the cover because it has
a powerful magnet in it that triggers the embosser. It's really good
quality braille.

Hi Jerry,Yes, the VersaPoint was made and sold by Telesensory but when Freedomscientific
I was afraid of that. Thanks.

I have a Juliet Pro 60 myself. I have had it for about three years and
have not had any problems with it. But as soon as funds become
available, I am going to have it in the shop for cleaning. I cannot
elaborate on the other embossers, but as far as finding another
embosser that is less expensive, good luck. As we all know, when you
put “adaptive” before any item, the price goes up exponentially.

Hi Everyone,
Once again some of the dots on my Juliet Pro 60 are no longer printing.
If I decide to return it to Enabling Technologies for repair, this
will be the third time in around 6 years. It has been less than a year
since I received it back from the shop last time. I'm seriously
considering not bothering to return it. Does anyone have any
experience with the Juliet 120 wireless interpoint embosser? Also, can
anyone recommend an interpoint embosser that might be less expensive
and more reliable? All help appreciated. Thanks.
Diane
