bearman I am the OP and as far as I am concerned any issues I have with MBK have been solved. I got the answer I needed re:the SB5. Yesterday I ordered the requisite items from MBK and today I called them to change the order, which they did. I admit that my original post may have been posted with a little bit of haste and I probably should have waited another 24 hours to calm down regarding my frustration. I ordered from MBK this time because my past experiences with them have always been very positive. As has been pointed out in any number of responses to my original post, there may be issues of which I am/was unaware could be the problem. At this point, I would prefer to just let all the dust settle and relegate this whole thread to some deep dark archive never to be resurrected again.
