Hi Jim, When you ask about a "talking cell phone" I'm not sure exactly what you mean. There a series of LG cell phones available through Verizon, but honestly the capability is so very limited. Personally, I'm looking into a Motorola Q phone -- a Smart Phone that can have Mobile Speak SmartPhone

For out of the box you have the LG5300 or the LG8300 with MP3 player as well as the LG8500 Chocolate with MP3 player but has a touch pad which may be a little tricky if you are totally blind. You can also try the VW6700, Motorola Q which require mobile speak or smart software to make them full

You usually press down on the control knob to make gas go to the pilot light for lighting. You have to rotate the knob to the correct location for it to be pressed down. After holding down on the knob and lighting the pilot, you continue holding down on the knob for about 1 minute, then you ca

Stretching my memory some. The pilot may be on when turned to pilot if this heater has a flue vent. Old floor furnaces had a open pilot used a thermo;ile and no electricity so the pilot had to be burning for there to be enough electricity to operate the main gas valve. If the pilot blew out t

Hi Bill The ball bearing in a track or channel would not work because it would either roll to one end or the other. You would not be able to move it in enough tiny increments to have the ball stop in the middle, you could of course put some very light machine oil in the track but I still do not
