My suggestion, in a word, is Thiel!  I used to love telling people
that I had my thiel for over two years and it hadn't been serviced
once.  Well, it was just serviced.  The voltage regulator died and
needed to be replaced.  The service was fast (less then a week) and
very satisfactory (they did a lot of work in a little time).

The thiel brailles about 160 cps.  It will not do graphics, but it
will churn out lots of very high quality braille text.  If that's
what you're looking for, then it will do the trick.
