Its interesting,
I have owned a reading edge since 1993 / 94 or so.
In that time I have needed to replace it only twice, perhaps on 3
occasions, once because a staffer with delta airlines ignored my
instructions for its storage.
I do keep a spare, would not mind having one of them passed on for parts
to help someone else.
speaking personally, hardware synthesizers have become apart of history
largely because of factors outside of their benefit quality, or possible
continued usefulness... but that is my personal opinion of course.

You're welcome. I also have a doubletalk LT / litetalk, which works
beautifully on a standard serial port, and well enough over a USB to
serial converter. I checked a couple of weeks ago out of interest, and
the RC systems page for the lt says they don't have any in stock, and
that it's retired. I seem to recall hearing the trippletalk is not
being sold anymore either. Hardware synthesizers seem to have become a
chapter in speech synthesis history. Let's keep the ones still working
we own running for as long as we can. It seems that once they break
down, they likely can't be fixed and certainly not replaced.

Greg,
This gave me a deeply appreciated reason to smile.
After all, for many the major major major drawback for Linux is the lack of
clear quality speech resources.
