I've had good luck with PSC, 435 W. Commercial St., E. Rochester, 14445
Tel 800 772 5267 or 716 385 3540.  I just called to get a current prices 
and they have prices for the BTM of $31.20 import and $25.84 domestic.  

As long as we're on the subject of projection lamps, my Carousel came with
FHS lamps (3300 K, 70 hours) but I'm wondering if the EXY (3200K, 200 hours)
lamps are a better deal.  Their prices are
lamp    import     domestic
 FHS    $13.86      $14.69
 EXY    $22.52      $22.65
What do you think?
