This is Bob. How much would it cost if a person wanted a new Optacon built from scratch, and would it be possible to have this done? Is the main sticking point the display? Also, I have found that I cannot read well with the Optacon II because the lines feel dotty: the pins are too far apart, and I can't get the letters thin enough. Also, a friend of mine has an Optacon with a metal camera: a bit heavier than the plastic one we use.
