Jack, Alan can be reached at (801) 692-1476. His Amazon site was http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FD1ZVEG/ref=mp_s_a_1_2/188-9839992-8285868?qid=1394911223&sr=8-2&pi=SL75. Not sure on the adapter material as I didn't receive it yet. I'll let you know. Mike

I have been tuning in on this debacle because I want to buy one. Now that things seem to be straightened out, can you send the website, and phone number of Alan, so I can make arrangements to buy one. Are the adapters silicone? Metal?
