Where is the best place to purchase dictaphone or C-phone?

Also, I am very unfamiliar with the different types of equipment out there.  I have worked for only 1 company in 7 years and use their equipment.  Can you tell me if there is a difference in the 2 pieces.  Also, I used to use a Lanier station when I first bega, would this be considered a dictaphone?

Thanks.

I may need to purchase a C-phone.  I've been looking at ebay and some other sites.  Do any of you have a favorite place to purchase equipment?  I live in Atlanta area, and it seems like there used to be a place to buy equipment, but I can't remember the name.

TIA for your help!

I AM SELLING MY DICTAPHONE C-PHONE AND HAVE LOWERED THE PRICE TO $130.00 PLUS SHIPPING.  IT WORKS GREAT AND WAS BARELY USED. EVERYTHING IS INCLUDED, INCLUDING THE FOOTPEDAL.  I ALSO HAVE (2) 9-PIN FOOT PEDALS THAT WORK FOR DICTAPHONE (NOT THE C-PHONE) AND ESCRIPTION, ETC. FOR $25.00 EACH PLUS SHIPPING.  EMAIL ME IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.  I CAN SEND PICTURES OF THE ITEMS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED.  THANKS!

does anyone know if I can use a Dictaphone C-phone with digital phone service?  I'm moving and will have a regular phone jack and line.  thanks.

Does anyone one possibly have a PDF file with the operating instructions for a C-phone.  Please.

Thanks in advance

difference.  Also, have you tried a different headset?  Also someone told me one time that there is a microphone under your volume control on the right corner of the C-phone.  It's a tiny hole.  If you break off a Q-tip and stick that into the hole that will squelch a lot of background noise and that worked as well.  As far as getting your C-phone service, I heard that Dictaphone is "sunsetting" C-phones at the end of this year.  Meaning, they aren't going to service them anymore as they are considered an obsolete technology.  So, I would contact Dictaphone and see what your options are.

I know very little about Lanier equipment.  I've not used it as extensively as Dictaphone.  Is there a local appliance repair place in your area?  You might ask one of those places to take a look at your equipment and see what they think.  Kinda scary, cause they could do more harm than good, but maybe worth a shot.

Not much help, I know.  But I thought I would share what tiny bit of obscure knowledge I do have. 

VoiceScribe program?  I am offered a position with a company but they only give you a 30-day trial for this program - then after that you have to purchase license for $600.  I just can't afford that right now.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you. 

I got a Brother fax machine several years ago at Office Depot for around $80 or so.  I later got an HP all-in-one in 2005 at Sam's.  I don't remember what it cost, but it's worth it if you'll be faxing regularly.  Some of your clients may prefer a scanned version.

You could also compare on-line fax capabilities, which seems to be more current, for obvious reasons.  I can't remember the details, but I've heard it advertised on talk radio.

Just a thought, especially if you'll be doing this regularly.  Places like the UPS Store, etc. charge a good bit to fax, not to mention the inconvenience of leaving the house to do it.

You might want to check out some of the earlier posts here as the tax issues have been discussed.  You would probably gain information in that respect.  Also, you might want to have an accountant/tax preparer for your first year.  Some say, you can copy the next year from that first year, but I personally believe in having my taxes prepared for me as these guys are up on things, ya' know.  Most definitely though you will want to get your own freestanding PC because down the road you may want to gain some of your own accounts, so you will need that.  You will be fine.  Some of these people act like you out to take their job or something???  Go figure.  There is always one bad apple in the bunch, right?  I learned that in grade school.  Best wishes in your endeavors.... 

from Stedman's. The title is "The CMT Reveiw Guide."  This book was just released last year (2005) and was developed for the current version of the CMT exam.  You might also want to consider a CMT Study Group.  Contact the nearest chapter of AAMT as they do have CMT Study Groups.  I know that the Online Chapter of AAMT is about to start a study group that will complete in time to take the CMT in the end of July/begining of August.   Oak Horizons also offers and online CMT Prep Course which I have heard is really good.  You can get more info on the Oak Horizons class on www.aamt.org and do a search for CMT prep course.  For more info on the OCAAMT Study Group contact certconnector@aamtonline.org.
