I'm trying to locate a vendor which sells a DECtalk Express, and would ship that world-wide (I'm located in Europe). Any hints would be very appreciated. -- Thanks, Mario ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I know of a few places that have some broken ones around that they use for repairs. My best guess would be Ebay.

I know a lot of these type of devices with internal batteries will not function on AC power if the battery is completely shot, Speakouts do, and I know Braille 'n Speaks won't function without a functional battery. Someone had this dectalk around, as I needed the cable for it as mine was broke, but they had the whole thing and said the rest didn't work. I could use a second one if I can get a replacement battery, or have it repaired cheaply.

Cut them apart if necessary, remember it is busted junk. >From the number of cells times 1.2 volts you can determing the voltage. I solder wires to the old battery connector, string them out of the box, and con;nect to another standard type of battery, or a FILTERED power supply; of near the extimated voltage. This worked on a type and speak, and that was actually all that was wrong with it. So eventually I found batteries to fit in the case. The hardest part was to clip the old batteries out, and not damage the board.
