Anybody know a dealer with one in stock who could overnight it to me? I need a MARC 300/16 to fit a Kodak Pageant.

Thanks.

I have had good luck with Bulb Direct (www.bulbdirect.com). They seem to keep a good stock and ship quickly if required.

Good luck

I, too, recommend Bulb Direct. A _good_ camera store or audiovisual dealer might carry these, too, but prices will probably be higher.

Note that the Pageant might use a MARC 300/16A (aka "Gemini 300"), which isn't the same thing as the MARC 300/16. At least the one that I've used does. There might also be a model that uses a "normal" MARC 300/16 (like the B&H projectors).

You're right, Scott, it is a 16A. BulbDirect and TopBulb are both out, however. ICECO in Miami is checking their warehouse for me.

Thanks.

You may also want to try Bulbman (www.bulbman.com).

BulbDirect came through! Seems they had some buried somewhere after all.

Thanks for all the fast help with this.
