We have an older model from Sears, the brand is Life style. Like David's ours has a slide control for the speed and a lever that you pull to activate the tilt. It has a lot of things that I can't use like heart monitor, speed indicator, calories burned and distance traveled. It is not used as much as it should be but really helped me when recovering from paralysis. It helped me learn to walk again. It does need the hydrolic shock replaced. I don't think it will be hard but trying to locate the part number has been a problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Ferrin" <d...@jaws-users.com> To: <blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 9:13 AM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] treadmills
I will have to ask my wife what brand it is but the controls is for me simply a slide for the speed. There is the monitors for heart rate and so forth but they are useless to me.

How blind friendly are the controls. The few we looked at in the store, the buttons were under a thin plastic, and I could not feel them.
