Granted, I haven't purchased from them much - I've only gotten 2 bottles of Film Guard from them - but GTS Booth Supplies out of Utah seems to be a good company to do business with. You can call them at (877) 587-6742.

Heard that RSEM isn't too bad either... www.rsem.com

If you have a theatre equipment dealer you rely upon for emergency parts and service, give them your routine business as well. Going to the "lowest bidder" for routine supplies isn't wise if your regular dealer won't be there when you really need them, due to a lack of your business.

Agreed with John.

For my personal use, I've dealt with a number of dealers and have been happy with BL&S, Cardinal Sound, Wolk, RSEM, National Cinema Service, and various manufacturers (Neumade, in particular, is good to deal with).
