Default Kodachrome Processing to move

In understand that the K-14 processing machine in Fair Lawn, NJ is
supposed to be shutting down in August or September, and Kodachrome
processing is supposed to be contracted to somebody "out west."

Anyone know any more about where the processing is supposed to be done,
and what will happen with mailers and so on?

The only somebody in the US left for them to contract with is:

Parsons, KS 67357
Tel: 1-316-421-3940
Tel: 1-800-522-3940
F A X : 1-316-421-3174

That just leaves Kodak's Swiss lab as the only other K14 lab worldwide.

Someone on a discussion forum suggested it was an old Lerner lab in
California. Perhaps they are taking A&I's old K-lab and setting it up
somewhere? Total rumor.

There is still a lab in Japan. One of the two labs there closed last
month.

In re-reading that, it is perhaps not accurate. One of the two labs
that had been processing Kodachrome in Japan ceased doing so last month.
There is still one that does, as far as I know.

What kind of volume do these labs do? Every store I go into still
sells Kodachrome. It is at every camera shop and every drug store in
the area. Even if every store in the U.S. only sells one roll a week,
the volume for one or two labs must be huge.
