Hi Dan,

Omega used to sell a high end meter for around $300, however, when they 
learned that blind people were purchasing them they discontinued selling 
them as it was thought we would kill ourselves.

Radio Shack also sold a meter, however, it has been gone for more than 10 
years.

More recently, a surplus seller out of Florida had the "Top Hand" brand 
meter for $40.  They ran out of these several months ago.

The only source for talking multimeters at this time is the NFB store at the

following address.

The meter from NFB appears to be the same thing as sold by the surplus 
seller from Florida.

I have learned to order these items when they are available as if you wait,
you will be out of luck.  In fact, if the item is cheap enough, I will buy
more than one.

Do you remember the cheap Hamilton Beach talking microwave oven?  I bought
three of them and put two in storage.

It's a shame that we have to do this.

I hope this helps.

I wouldn't wait you better order now if you want one!!
