james3mc Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 We have four aging Patt 23 which we use when we want to use our gobos. And we have A LOT of size B gobos and mainly GH08 gobos holders. What we want to know is, what other fixtures can use this size of holder and gobo?

alistermorton Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 According to this guide from Rosco the Patt23/N, Minim 23, Hilite 23 and Quartet, although only the Patt23 will resolve the full gobo B size, the rest really need a D (it says). There are , of course, several lanterns which take a size B, but not with a GH08 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Pearce Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Quartet will take a B size, but will lose the outside of the image. For full image resolution you need M size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I misread the superscript note, it is M for full resolution., not D for the Quartet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy_s Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Glad my aging memory hasn't quite failed! As you point out, it's more the holder size that will limit the choice of alternatives to the Pat 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro_gearloose Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Since the holders are only aluminium, judicious application of a saw and a file might make them fit other fixtures. I’ve cut down some odd sized holders that I found at work so that they would fit our stock of Strand profiles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandall Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 As gyro_gearloose suggests, if you have other lanterns you would like to use for your gobos, you can probably bodge your GH08s to fit. If you can get hold of a bit of thin aluminium, & can use a saw, file & pair of pliers, it's easy enough to modify or even make your own from scratch. I have quite a collection of home-made & re-purposed ones knocking around that date from a time when £10+ for a holder seemed a lot of money.
