Exciter bulb replacement (and general parts inquiry)

[Matt Tyson]

I'm in need of a new exciter bulb, and I found two places (one in Chicago, one in Toronto) that carry the one I need. I ordered one from each place, hoping it arrives before a screening I have planned with friends next WED.

General question though: are there preferred businesses/websites to find replacement parts? And more importantly, anyone know of a spot in NYC that might carry exciter bulbs for 16mm projectors?

Hi Matt,

I buy projector lamps (including exciter lamps for 16mm), from Replacementlightbulbs.com (Link)

They currently list 30 different types if you search under "exciter", although stock levels vary a lot among the various types.

I find their prices and service to both be really good. They are also pretty knowledgeable and offer advice when asked.

What's sad is a not long ago there was a place that serviced 16mm cameras and projectors out near me on Long Island, but the last time I checked it was a nail salon!

That's great, thanks so much Steve.
