Default Database update for Foster LRN-500 loran?

Anyone know if I can get a database update for a Foster500
Loran, and if so where from and how much it costs? I
wouldn't bother except my autopilot is connected to it, and
the existing database is old enough that some of the airport
ID's have changed for ICAO, and one or two VORs have been
physically moved (Bradley, for example). BF Goodrich used
to do the updates, I got one from them in 1996, but they
have since sold their avionics unit to L3, and so far have
not found anyone that knows about database updates.

Even better would be technical details on the database
cartridge format and what the eprom in it is so that perhaps
I could update it if it is no longer supported.
