I am a retired CPO, but still present upper extremity and lower extremity lectures to graduate PT and OT classes at 3 local universities. I really enjoy teaching OT and PT students about our field of expertise. I present an Upper Extremity Lecture 4 times/year.  I am hoping someone has  a used (but functional) BE myoelectric prosthesis they are no longer using, or was donated back to their office by a patient. It does not have to be a newer design prosthesis, just a functioning one; with batteries and a charger. I used to pass a sample prosthesis around to the students so they can experience the function of the myo terminal device by using their own fingers as the input signal only the electrode. Those previous samples are no longer available.  It appears not too many companies have a sample, let alone an extra one. If anyone has a sample they can send me, I would appreciate it.I would like to keep it since I present so many times/year.  I will personally pay for any shipping cost. 
Thanks
John Mooney, CPO1410
