I found one of these models on ebay.
Is it self explanatory or will i need to mess with it and get sighted help
to use it?
It has two days left but the shipping price is kind of high.  Should i buy
in your opinion or bid i mean?
I could not find any of the other models suggested on this list on ebay.
thanks
ps. its the htx-202
