Hi Alan, I think this number is for a catalog place, and not the 
manufacturer.  It's an  indirect lead, but maybe it will help.  
Good luck, Jim

Subject: Contact phone number for LDG?

As most of you know, LDG made a talking watt meter called the 
TW-1.  Due to
slow sales, they eventually dropped it from their catalog.  I am 
helping a
blind ham in Sun City learn to operate his station.  While his 
station is
relatively unsophisticated, he is having great difficulty keeping 
his
station on the air.  I believe that it would help him if he could 
get one of
the LDG TW-1's, but of course, they are no longer made.  I intend 
to call
LDG to find out if they would be willing to provide the schematic 
and parts
list for the TW-1.  Even if they don't wish to make the meters 
anymore, they
may be willing to hand over the documentation that would enable 
others to
make them up.



Does anyone have a good number for LDG?  And, do any of you agree 
with me
that the TW-1 would still be useful to blind operators if we 
could get some
made?

A good friend who is a high-level electrical engineer with 
Honeywell
Aerospace said that he might be willing to build some units if we 
could get
the docs from LDG.



Thanks in advance for either the phone number for LDG, and any 
comments
regarding the possible usefulnesss of the TW-1.



Best 73, Alan
