Mmmmm...
Goboman are in my area...
Well, if you care to drive for an hour...
Temcula is about a hour drive from Orange...
Did you try calling them...???
866-391-GOBO...
I really hope it works out for you...
I got a American DJ Light and love it so much that I got a second
but the second one wasn't anywhere as nice as the first plus
the fan stopped working too...
I drove it back to the dealer and
they found that the fuse wasn't the right amps...
They fit it and now it works fine...
Good Luck Papa...
but let us know what happens

Well, I see that Goboman makes the 100 watts now...
Scottie, I think they haven't call you because you would be cutting into the money they make by providing gobos...
Anyway, Thanks for your info...

Has anyone tried the 100 watts...???

DJ Scottie,
How in the WORLD are you taping a piece of transparent film to the front of that projector and it's NOT melting? It's a 75w bulb getting MAGNIFIED too.
I have the exact projector and tried that and the slide started smoking, and melting in less than 1 minute. I even replaced the bulb with a 50w bulb to see if that would help. Nope...
What the heck kind of transparent film could you be using that is withstanding direct, magnified light/heat???
WOW!

I just bought...
...an Image Pro 300. As soon as I get it, I'll make a gobo and snap a picture. This baby will take transparencies that you make on your computer printer, or 35mm slides.

I use the black unit... here are a few more pictures from last week. the lights were still up quite a bit durring dinner:
Scottie - I see you have your transparency paper right on the light. How do you keep the transparency from smoking and cracking. I bought the Ikea Light w/ a 50watt bulb...I turn it on and it starts smoking and eventually I get a whole in the middle...
I'm using 3M transparency film for Ink Jet printers...
Jon - How are you doing it.
Scottie - Question 2...In word....How did you create the duplicate designs.....across the page?
With what I saw, even with the 50 w bulb...this will work nice, if I can get it to stop smoking...
The transparencies that I have purchased (Im still on my first package) are the Staples brand Ink Jet transparencies.
The blub is inside this unit, and it has a fan. I dont believe that the Ikea ones have a fan. My slide is placed on the outside of the unit.. It never gets too hot, I have had it running 10 hour days (recently at a Bridal Show).
All I know.... it works. Dont mess with that works... If Goboman is at MBLV08 this year.... go get one, I use the 75w unit. If your there see if Steve Hoffman is there, I believe he is the owner. Tell him that Scottie from Vancouver, BC sent you!
Here is the goboman unit doing its thing again last night at a Sweet16.

As for question 2... I cut and paste the slide in word. that is how I create several on a page. then I go back and change the colours to create several chooices.
I guess you get what you pay for.....I've been playing with the IKea one a bit...As you side the slide holder out, there's less of a heat issue. I asuume Jon, this is what you are doing?
I'm going to play with the Ikea one a bit more; If I can't get it to do what I need it to do.....Goboman, here I come....

I got tired of worrying about melting and smoking slides. I bought an LED projector and LOVE it. Did I mention I LOVE it. Make your own slides. Zero heat issues and decent coverage. NO... It's not going to throw light like a Source 4 but it's 100's of dollars less money.
Here's a sample in normal house lighting about 15 feet throw.

Nice job harry...
Well, I got the Gobo projector at the MBLV and it's work nicely...
Here is how I did it...
Film cut to fit inside the holder (the first slider near the light). move the slider away about an inch and it working fine... 2 hours with no problems so far...
BS-GOBO-100
Ya, I got the 100 watt version...
and Rebal was very helpful...
Thanks Scottie
