Actually Eleanor, now I think of it, I have a feeling RNIB sell something
like a Sony cassette job, but wouldn't put my money on it. Perhaps yours or
something similar is still a possibility for Andy? Hagger UK were also
great for those kind of bits and pieces, but did someone say they've gone
out of business, or have moved into a different market now?
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

If Andy wanted a good old fashoned Sony cassette recorder I have one in
excesllent condition and even tapes that are unopened so that is a
possability. It has cue and review too on it. This cost 30 pounds. I
always used to leave one of these by the phone and I found them brilliant
too. Even those memo tapes though I do not think I have one of those
recorders now.
