I just tried this site to convert one ai to svg. It looks like a pay 
service, but maybe they gave me a trial attempt. Anyway, it worked on 
my sample.

I have an ancient version of Illustrator, ver. 9. If you put it up 
somewhere on the web I can get at it, I'll take a crack at converting 
it. I think the SVG format has changed over the years, so there may be 
come compatibility issues, but it might be worth a try.
