Hi everyone,
Around Christmas time, I learned that several old Optacons were found at the
University of Pittsburgh. Apparently, they taught Optacon to people, for a
short time. But, when, after a short time, they were no longer needed, they
just sat around. Someone discovered them and rescued them.
I don't know how many there were, but I got one. Talk about nostalgia! I
believe this must be an R1B. It still has the old camera retaining bolt,
metal camera, and very thin retina cable. It was thoroughly serviced by a
former serviceman who worked for TSI, 25 years ago, or more. So, I'm
thrilled to have it and just thought you'd like to now.
