[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 2572320, member: 177"] The [url=http://www.loc.gov/nls/]National Library Service[/quote] has programs that loan free recorded material to the blind and physcially handicapped. They also loan out the tape decks and record players, free of charge. The tape decks they provide aren't super-duper stereo playback, but they are designed for the blind, and they are free. You might wish to talk to the [url=http://www.brailleinstitute.org/]Braille Institute[/url] or any one of the large number of local or national organizations that provide assistance for the blind. They probably have resources and information we do not. After that, at your chosen price, I expect there's going to be a certain amount of "you get what you pay for". In the lower end of the range, models come and go quickly, and I don't expect any get to really prove themselves to be workhorses. Plus, the stock available at your local retailers will probablyl make any specific model suggestions we make moot. Take a name brand, close to the top of your price range. If anything about it [i]feels[/i] cheaply constructed, it probably is. The physical requirements of a blind user will probably be your biggest restriction. And if it fails within the warantee period, be sure to play the "this is for a blind man" card. There's nothing major companies want less than to cheese of the disabled. It's mediapathic. :) [/QUOTE]
