Did you speak to Ed, Charlotte, or someone else at Drumbalaya in 
person? The part may do something else besides change polarity, and 
it's proprietary to Ed Morin at Drumbalaya. I'm not sure. I could 
probably get you that information from Tom Picard at Visu-lite but 
not for a while. Why no shipping to Canada? Can I receive shipment in 
the States and send it to you?
