It is very easy to make and uses transparency paper.
John P gave me a template that he uses. Simply type in the names and click print. Trim out the gobo and place it between the 2 pieces of glass.
Presto! You have a monogram.
John P does print 2 gobos and overlaps them to make the black darker but mine does pretty good with just one layer.
They were discontinued some time ago but you can still find new ones on Ebay.
I actually bought 2 of them. I liked it so well that I was afraid if it broke, I would need a replacement.
$155 + Shipping
You get what you pay for. It very well should do an awesome job by the time you purchase an ellipsoidal at about $350 and put another $250 into the image pro.
I had run all the options for over a year before I decided on this projector.
I looked at the Chauvet SX Gobo, Martin PR-1 and Imagescan, Goboman, etc. For MY money, there was not a better option.
I can include this as a free addon and don't feel the slightest bit guilty about it.
Sorry Steve,
I'm not ignoring you, just waiting for another one to be listed on Ebay.
That is the only place that I have been able to find one (or actually 2 and I may have bought the last one).
This is the closest link I could find that will even show you what it is.

If I can find another one someplace, I will let you know

Great idea...
I just bought this (only two left) for $65. I'm going to try and make my own gobo the way Briar described.

I registered at the goboman's site... Will be buying the 75 watter. I wish the 100 watter wasn't too hot ( supposedly can melt the transparencies ) or I would have bought that.
Tyrone...there's a 250 watt bulb in that unit...Me thinks melted transparancies. I'm looking at the goboman as well.....
Papa, Have you actually seen the goboman 75 in use?
I saw it in Vegas last year and was not impressed at all. Several of the local DJs bought them there and now they are not happy with them either. (I will be happy to share their names if you want to talk to them)
I called Goboman when the 100 watt was released hoping it would be bright enough and they told me what you stated....it was too hot for transparencies.
Tyrone,
That fixture is the exact same as the Chauvet SX Gobo only I believe it will carry the "Eliminator" label. Alot of different fixtures are manufactured by the same company and American DJ, Chauvet and others will just place their label on it.
That fixture will be great if you have your gobos laser cut. It is bright and does a good job but I believe it will smoke a transparency due to the heat.
You can do that but the edges will not be sharp and the image will not be clear. Projectors have an adjustable lens so you can focus and the image will be sharp.
Our own DJ Scottie has had great response and success with his simple Gobo man and posted pics if anyone cares to check his past posts.
No, but someone here had posted pics, and I thought it looked great for the price. Maybe I'll wait til Vegas and see if he is there before making a choice.
Thanks, Briar.
