I have had my Perkins Vrailler since 1970. It is still going strong. It might 
well outlast me!

Hello folks.

Are there any affordable alternatives to the Perkins Brailler?

I have used at least 4 different Perkins in my lifetime and I find them
to be the most unreliable, inconsistent and unreliable machines I have
ever touched.  To say nothing of the arcane design.

Are there any viable alternatives that are affordable?  I once had a
feel of something which I think was called a 'Stainsby' Brailler but I
can find no information about where to get one.

I don't need to type a lot of Braille but need to be able to make labels
mostly.
