Dot's Right Brailler Repair
Francis Daniels
(323) 254-9213

For a basic cleaning, lubricating, making sure the dot height is acceptable, deglazing the rubber roller, I charge $20.00. All work is guaranteed for one year. If I need to replace parts, I charge for the part. No repair costs go over $35.00. I have been working with braillers since 1980, and can repair regular, uni-braillers, and jumbo braillers (large cell). I can work on the mechanical parts of electric braillers, but I cannot work on the electronics. I have worked also on Atkinson braillers, Lavender braillers and most versions of the Hall.
