Lenny McHugh's Home Page Lenny McHugh is a retired computer analyst whose blindness from Retinitis Pigmentosa has not impeded his success. Lenny entertains and educates us with his many inspicommunity and often humorous life stories. The site lists many resources for the blind with an emphasis on educational and accessibility issues.
I hope this site will be a good resource for blind and visually impaired people and our allies. There are pages on eye conditions, practicalities such as Braille and using a computer, and let's not forget the fun stuff, such as gardening, photography and tandem cycling. There are also some non-blind pages, mainly dealing with health and alternative healing. There is much more to come yet, so please visit often.
Chuck Sheldon has been a Perkin's brailler repairman for the past twenty years, supporting non-profit agencies and schools systems in the Northwest.
Chucks motto of "You might get it done for less but never better" speaks to his commitment to quality service and fair trade!
Over the past twenty years, several thousand braillers have passed through Chuck's shop. According to Chuck, David Abraham's Perkins Braillers are built for lifetime usage and normally only require minimal maintenance. The most important action an owner can do to keep their brailler operational, is to keep the cover on it when not in use. The lubricants in a brailler act like a magnet to dust particles. This is the number one reason a brailler needs service by a technician. The dust contaminates the lubricants and result in the sticky operation of the braille writer.
Occasionally parts in a brailler do fatigue and need to be replaced. Chuck's shop includes a complete inventory of new and lightly used parts. Our goal is to provide no more then a 3 day turn around on a brailler that comes though the shop. Our base price includes the replacement of the majority of all parts that normally fail in a brailler. We like to keep it simple for our customers, no hidden costs!
