New 1/2" tape retailer

Hi,

Which companies still manufacture reel to reel tape stock? Quantegy is really running low on 1/2" and only offer 406. Is there another company to buy from?

thanks!

RMGI and ATR. ATR carries their own new formulation and is highly acclaimed but pricey.
RMGI makes SM911 which is bias-compatible with 456, SM900 which is 499 compatible and SM468 which is somewhere in between I think.

EDIT:
Zonal make a variety of tape but it only seems to be practical to obtain in the UK and they're only making 1/4" stock at the moment.
