Author Topic: Anyone a Baldor dealer? Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-17-2010 10:16 AM                     I need to order a controller and a Smartmove from Baldor, I can't buy direct, which means I have to go thru a local distributer and I'll probably end up paying list price, I'd like to find it cheaper Rick  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 09-17-2010 12:14 PM                     ok, LIST price for the controller is $1670.00 My price from local dealer (Baldor, Not theater dealer) is $3003.77 LIST price for the Smartmove is $2506.00, local dealer price $4265.53 I won't pay more than list and am looking for a dealer to get a discount.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 09-20-2010 01:18 PM                     Richard, Did you do a Google search? I have come up with a lot of Baldor distributors that way. If you can post the specific part numbers I can check with my local dealers and see what price I can get for ya. Try electricmotors.com ph. #877-348-0744 They ship free in the US.

I'm getting 1 part at $100 over list and the other at $700 under. The Baldor stuff was my only concern on this order. I know all of the people from the other companies that I ordered from. Now the fun begins...shipping $20,000 worth of goods to China from my house. Think I'm on a list?

We have some trouble and we have a long history of shipments and also an I.D. number for export. As for baldor; any really good motor shop sells Baldor, usually at some kind of discount. Try cities Louisville-size or bigger. Better yet; try to make contact with the rep.
