Please excuse my lazyness, however, I see the list of authorised distributors of FilmGuard and Media Pads.

A lone distributor in my state only does C.O.D. Not good as I never have that much cash on hand.

Is there a place online where I can order off a site?

If not, which closest to Michigan takes phone credit card orders? No C. O. D., please.

There is so many to choose from and don't want to rack up a huge phone bill calling around.

Thank you in advance. [Smile]

You can get it from GTS off of ebay. There are plenty of others too, but I am not completely familiar with which ones do. I believe Jack Roe takes credit card orders as well.

Hadden Theatre Supply's problem with credit cards is that the small markup does not allow for reimbursal of the fees (and it is not allowed to add for credit card service. Louis

Cardinal Sound does take credit cards.

GTS is good if you want to do it through Paypal. I do wish someone had this in a store so we could purchase it and media easily through the net. I'd do it, but I'm not a seller of Film Guard, though I would be if I could.

I have ordered a few items from R.S. Engineering in the past, and they seem pretty good. They have FilmGuard and Media Pads available from their on-line store :

give CLACO a call for FilmGuard as well ... 1-801-355-1250. They take the major plastic credit cards (V and MC). Not sure of their prices for FG, but their excellent service will help you out some.

Thanks for the information, everyone. I just bought the stuff from the eBay seller.

Right now I don't have a Kelmar cleaner. The one I do have is an United Artists 35mm Movie Film Cleaner, just like the one seen in this ended auction; Item number 260065447848.

Has anyone ever McGyver'ed this. or the pad hubs, so the pads can be used on it? I am sure I can come up with something if pointed in the right direction.

The drill press is in the next room. [Smile]

Most of the prints I have are very clean, anyway.
