Available fromIt seems that the ordering process at the Improvements Catalog website is not screen reader friendly. Apparently the tags, which describe the requested information, for each box are in the wrong location for a screen reader. This can lead to confusion when filling them in. It appears that an experienced screen reader user, with some effort, can complete the purchase. However, this is a case where it might be best to seek sighted assistance.
We have learned that this unit is available from a number of sources. One of them is the site below where the price at the time this page was posted was $39.95 plus shipping.
