Hi Scott,
I bought mine from the RNIB, where they have details.
It can be bought slightly cheaper via mail order from abroad, but then you
do get the difficulties mentioned earlier re guarantees, repairs etc. Also,
remember that as a blind person the RNIB does not impose the VAT that you
may need to add in other countries.
Regards, John
