Larry,

Yes, Paul Asgeirsson of Morriservice makes a terrific kit for the A-series,
I chose it over the Rivergate for numerous design and cost considerations.
Also Paul's service and follow-up is A1+. There are several advantages of
Paul's kit and no drawbacks that I can come up with. You can buy pieces of
Paul's kit (many who have Rivergates have done so), but otherwise it is
complete set. Contact Paul at PAsgeirsson@compuserve.com for more
information. He's on this list.
I don't have personal experience with kits for the 1500, but I'm sure a
couple listers here do.
My 2 cents.
