URGENT: BATTERY RENTAL NEEDED

[Charles Haine]

IIC folks,

 

I had arranged to rent some Lens's and a IIC battery for my friend's IIC for a shoot this saturday from a promiment LA rental house, and at 4:20 today they let me know that they actually don't have a bettery for me (they are all rented).

 

They are a nice house, and we only booked at the begining of the week, so I don't want to make them look back, but it leaves us in a bind. I need a 16V Eruo Banana clip battery (belt or block) for this coming Saturday to power a governor motor IIC?

 

Or, short of that, anyone with any idea where to rent or purchase one (my buddy who owns the camera is willing to buy a battery) other than:

 

Alan Gordon, Birns $ Sawyer, Clairmont, Wooden Nickel, Victory Battery, Keslow Camera, Isaiah & Co., or Hollywood Camera

 

Which are all the places I already tried. It's now past 5, so I'm close to giving up on pro places for day, but if any of you owner's in the LA area would be willing to rent me a battery for Saturday for $40, I would really appreciate it. I'm in a bind for this shoot without one.

 

thanks
