I am re-sending this message from a few days ago, in view of Catherine's E-mail asking about whether or not I A M still does Optacon repairs! Clinton See below ----- Original Message ----- From: Clinton Miller To: optacon-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, May 01, 2006 3:36 PM Subject: Optacon Repairs in Canada Catherine informs me that there are a few people in Canada having trouble getting their Optacons repaired. One fellow who repairs them is: Fred Stam Intelligent Access Microware 193 Cooper ST London ON CANADA N6H 2C5 Phone: (519) 679-4828 E-mail: service@xxxxxxxxx Fred also repairs Braille displays, and note-takers, and very likely other stuff, too. I can vouch for his good work, since he has successfully repaired two Optacons for me. I have pasted in below my recent E-mail to Fred and his response to it. Please note his caveat, namely, that parts are becoming more and more scarce for Optacons. I know he can replace the battery pack, do cleanings, etc. The rest depends on what is wrong and what parts are available. Here comes the E-mail response: Hi Clinton Yes we still do repairs on these and many other products. We have a good stock of parts for the Powerbraille, the older Navigator as well as all the Blazie note takers. However there is limit to the kinds of repairs we can do on Optacons because parts are so scarce now.
