Whoever had it before me did not take good care of it. I did not get it new; I never had a new Optacon, and anyway, as you know, it's one good thing that is no longer being made. It is a shame, though. I don't know how long someone will be around to fix it; I wonder about that, as he is one of the few I hear about who still repairs them. Good luck and hope you Optacon will be working again as soon as possible. marie ----- Original Message ----- From: "DAVID PLUMLEE" <knobman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <optacon-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, July 16, 2010 9:25 PM Subject: [optacon-l] Optacon Repair Needed >I have an Optacon which is of the R449 series.
