Hey, guys....price them out from various suppliers. Some will high-ball you on price, some will give you a nice break. It'll keep them on their toes....

I was shocked to find out MTS was ripping some theatres $1000.00 for a 3KW Osram.

But, that was MTS.

I get mine from Vern Klingman at Cin-Tronics. He has always, without exception, treated me more than fair.

When Josh needs a part for his stuff, I order it through Vern without having any fear that we will get "skinned".

If I need something for the theatres I try to keep them running, I order those parts from Vern.

Vern will go out of his way and take the "extra step" to help you, as long as you treat him fairly, and pay your bills. Very honest company, and always willing to help in any way he can.

Others I feel comfortable with are Brad, Mark, Gordon, Steve Guttag, and Scott Hicks, just to mention a few. Some of those I have not dealt with yet, but by knowing who they are through Film-Tech, I have a 100% vote of confidence in them.

Since we're putting in plugs, I must specifically plug in no particular order:

Cardinal Sound (home of Steve Guttag)
American Cinema Equipment (home of Scott Hicks)
TVP Miami (home of Richard Fowler)
Cinema Products International
and Motion Picture Projection Services

I have done more business with some than others, but I been very pleased with all of these companies and recommend them highly.

CXL-1000S is a "short" bulb (HS) as commonly used in an older ORC lamphouse and the present Cinemeccanica CX21H.
