Volunteers of Vacaville has been repairing Perkins Braille Writers since 1965. To ensure that your braille writer is returned to you in optimal working condition, we will fully disassemble, clean, repair, oil, and reassemble each brailler. Your brailler will be put through a quality assurance inspection and shipped to you with an industry leading 180-day warranty on labor and replacement parts! That is a 6-month warranty. The cost to repair your brailler is only $39.99, plus parts (at only cost +10%). This price applies to manual or electric braillers. Painting service is also available; call for colors and cost, etc. Turnaround time is usually 3-5 days, not counting shipping time. Since we are a prison-run organization, our project is subject to unexpected closures due to institutional lockdowns. All work is performed on a first-in first-out basis and will be completed as quickly as possible.
