Harry,

Amateur Electronic Supply will install options for you, don't know if they 
charge.

R and L will also for a fee of $25

I had Amateur Electronics Supply mark the positive lead on the power cable 
for me with some electrical tape or a cable tie.

Just explain that you are blind don't demand just ask nicely for these 
little extras.
