HRO in Delaware has installed voice boards for me, N/C.  Whoever you 
call, just tell them the situation and they will probably be glad to 
help.  If not, call someone else.

On the 480, you remove the top cover of the main unit, and near the 
front is a small metal cover  with four screws.   Remove the cover and 
install the board.  But if someone will do it, why bother?
