Yeah but getting them to NZ may cost too much - mind you Blind institute want over $220 for a set exactly the same - will see the postage and talk to my friend.

hi marlin9.i'm a blind person myself, and while I agree with you that the Foundation of the blind's talking scales are expensive, i've had my set since 1995 and they're still going strong.They get a lot of use too.as far as I know, the ones they sell today are the same as the ones i bought 17 years ago.

The brand for those scales is "My weigh"I found My Weigh bathroom scales for sale at http://www.fishpond.co.nz and I wonder is they would need very little persuasion to get the talking ones,There are also My Weigh scales for sale at hempstore.co.nz so it is possible there is a NZ importer.It could be worth going to myweigh.com and asking about importers.
