I agree with Mary. The optacon is a very delicate instrument and will not
hold up if you give it rough treatment. I would like to add that the pins on
all the optacons I have used are uniform in how they feel from column to
column.

Richard,
I have never held my finger too firmly to interfere with the optacon's
vibration, and I would never advise anyone to do so. The optacon is an
extremely delicate piece of equipment, meant to assist blind people in
reading print; it is meant for gentle use, with a gentle touch on the very
delicate array, which is the plate with the 144 vibrating reeds. Please be
extremely careful when using this device; it isn't meant for the sort of
treatment you are giving it. If the array is abused as you have indicated,
it will die, and it most likely cannot be replaced.
