@Privateer:
Yeah, I was afraid of that. You dont mention how often it (a group buy) was attempted, but I get the idea from your post count you've been here awhile...
It's not looking any better from my viewpoint of MC Enterprise's situation. They're moving their business to a new location (under same mgmt), and they're not sure they can get to building this before they move. Earliest availability for them to do anything is "about Oct, maybe a bit later...".
And, they're interested in how many we think we would buy, which leads into your point.
*When* did it get *so* hard to buy a simple, quality part??
I got a response from Germany this morning. GSG will ship what I requested as soon as I pay them. Their parts are available now, today.... in Germany... but, I think mebbe they dont take VISA. I'm not sure how to pay them, they want a "bank transfer", probably bank-to-bank wire. Well, I've lived overseas, and I know how that works. <small PITA>.
I'm probably going the GSG parts route. I'll post about how that goes when I know more.
