Author Topic: Supplies? Ron Davis Film Handler Posts: 23 From: Morgantown WV, USA Registered: Jan 2007 posted 09-09-2007 06:34 PM                        We're in need of various supplies that I've not had to order since taking over management. Things like splice and cue tape. Does anyone know of a good (and cheap!) place to pick these kinds of things up at? We also need pricing on LTIX-2000W Xenon bulbs (according to the old packaging we have available). Not sure if we could get both types of supplies from the same vendor or not... Thanks!  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 09-09-2007 06:57 PM                        Several of us here sell this kind of equipment. We are nearby: Hadden Theatre Supply in Louisville 502-499-0050. There are others!

I highly recommend him/them. An honorable supplier.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-09-2007 07:59 PM                     Louis is so honerable that I KNOW he will steer you to a more reliable lamp than those oogy LTI's! FWIW: Several hours ago in Hardin, Montana I removed a Superior Quartz 2kw lamp that was at 15,599 hours. It had been running in a Big Sky Lamphouse. So you may want to consider purchasing their lamps.

Louis will prob set you up with some better bulbs than that horrible brand... - Monte  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA. USA (1774.21 miles northeast of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-13-2007 07:50 AM                        Do you have a service contract or an ongoing relationship with a company that services your theatre (sound alignments, etc.)? If so, why not buy parts through them? If not, you probably should establish such a relationship ASAP and get someone out to look over your equipment and see what, if anything, might need to be repaired or upgraded. You can order splicing tape and such directly from Neumade, but it isn't any cheaper than it would be through a dealer. Agreed about the LTI bulbs--the cost per hour of operation will be far lower with other brands (I like Osram).  |  IP: Logged
