Rachel,
I would suggest that contact be made with the Ziegler Magazine office
to request their assistance.
I'm sure if a letter was sent to them, that they would forward it on
to the gentlemen needing assistance with the Optacon.

Subject: letter in Matilda Ziegler Magazine
In the May 2006 Matilda Ziegler Magazine, there was a letter sent in
to the
Readers Forum column by a David Glagola from Pittsburgh, PA. He says
he's
been using the Optacon for 30 years and laments the fact that no
organization has picked up the manufacture of the machine. He
apparently
thinks it's next to impossible to get the Optacon repaired. He is
totally
blind and is nearly deaf, so he can't communicate by phone. He also
doesn't have a computer and feels frustrated by his inability to know
how
and when he can purchase a new machine.
I must admit that I was both surprised and pleased to see such a
letter in
the magazine at the exact time when we're trying to reach out to
current
Optacon users. Unfortunately, Mr. Glagola does not include his
address
with his letter; but I'm wondering if anyone out there might know him
and
how to get in touch with him re our efforts to preserve the Optacon.
Thanks.
Rachel
