Try emailing Roy Salmons at
roysalmons@supanet.com
He loads lots of film into the 9.5mm cartridges, processes the film, and sells an excellent book about the history of the format and cameras.
He is located in Wales

In the latest issue of SUPER 8 TODAY Michael Ryan has contributed a nice in-depth article about Bernie O'Doherty and his company SUPER 16, INC. Bernie can pretty much repair any Super-8 camera unless it needs a microchip replacement that he doesn't have.

Have shot 20 rolls of Wittnerchrome 100D, with and without the Andec pressure plate, and all have run through smooth as silk. Same with four rolls of Pro8's version of the same stock.
My Wittnerchrome came from some of the first they had to sell.

Dwayne's has always done a good job for me (even last month).
Sound carts have never been a problem. They are very helpful and will follow any instructions or notes you include with the film.
For example, not long ago I sent them a 200' sound cartridge and asked for the empty cartridge to be ...
