At this point, I have pretty much have written my purchase off. "Live and learn", they say. I forwarded $100USD to have them shipped to Toronto. I will still take a reasonable, in fair condition set. There is a very good chance I could make this work. I'm a Nuclear Technician, with excellent trade skills that has resolved much bigger challenges than this. Worst case, they will be great wall decor. No pain , no gain. Thanks
