I just received the Perkins Brailler that I sent to Alan about four weeks
ago
and I'm genuinely impressed with the quality and speed of his service.
When
you hear that you basically have a brand new Brailler when he returns
yours,
it's true. He completely disassembles the machine and soaks all parts in
cleaning solvent before reassembling and lubricating. The machine I sent
him
was manufactured in March of 1978 and I asked for the full engineering
upgrade. This means that any parts that have been improved since your
machine
was manufactured are replaced in order to bring the machine up to current
specifications. The total tab for my machine; which was not working when
I
sent it to him; was $102 and change. This included his basic $45 service
charge, about $42 in parts, and the rest is shipping and insurance
(including
a new factory carton which you should retain in case you ever need to
ship
it
again). Alan claims that there is virtually no such thing as a Brailler
that
can't be repaired ... he knows of only two, I think, that couldn't be
repaired
and one of these had been crushed between a large truck and a loading
dock. I
highly recommend him on both a cost and turnaround basis if you have a
Perkins
Brailler in need of cleaning or repair. His address info is:
ACKLEY APPLIANCE SERVICE

Alan isn't set up to take credit cards. He'll send you a bill when your
Brailler has been serviced and include a sample of braille written on
your
machine (including the month and year of manufacture) when he returns the
machine.
