 TW> I have owned a perkins brailler for 20 years with no maintainance and
 TW> it needed going over. I also wanted that new improved roller with the
 TW> big rubber tyres for improved paper gripping and the new knobs 

     Don't care about the knobs, but I sure would like to have the new roller.

 TW> the ends.  I have had bad service from how press at the work sight
 TW> and heard horror stories about other places but I sent mine to a guy
 TW> in california named rapeir right mister warren right. and he does a
 TW> magnificent job. the man takes his time and tears the machine down
 TW> fully and fixes everything right the first time. it was gone less
 TW> than a week.  he doesn't come cheap but quality service doesn't 

Well, Tandy, I have had very good luck with how press, and had
horrow experiences  with other places.  You are luckey that you had
good luck with some one else.  The turn around time sounds good.
Every time I got my perkins braillor back from how press, it was
like new.  Even though I would like to have one of those new
rollers, I will wait untill I need to return it for repairs.

As far as the price, the last time I sent a braillor to how press a
few years ago, it cost $50 to overhaul it, and make like new.  I
don't find any service that is any good cheap today.
