I spoke with Richard about this specific issue.
They can repair the cable.
I don't know about buying a new one out-and-out but you could ask.
I'm going to have one repaired because the cables eventually, at least
=66or me, go hard as a rock and won't bend or just split over time.
Richard indicated that a cable rebuild was on the order of $350.
I don't remember what they went for new because my unit was always under
maintainance, a big laugh that was I just purchased a new two, or maybe
three, year agreement when TSI decided to not deal with the optacon any
more.
That turned out to be a well spent several hundred dollars. <fronw>

the camera to keep it working. =20

Ted,
Over the years on the list we have had mixed reports about Batteries
Plus.=20
Some Optacon users have had good luck but some have had their machines
damaged. It really depends on how much risk you want to take.
Personally I wouldn't risk the Optacon but if you do take it to
Batteries Plus I would suggest the following: Meet the person who is
going to replace the battery. Get a feel for whether or not he has seen
this kind of configuration before in some other type of machine. Stay to
answer any questions the technician might have and if you spot
reluctance or unwillingness, take your unit out of there.
The other fact to consider is that if you send the Optacon to an
authorized repairer, the unit is cleaned, the pins are checked, and
probably a dozen or so potential problems are prevented from happening.
If you think your repair bill would be high if you ship your Optacon
just for a battery replacement, think of the cost if the unit id
damaged.
