[SML] [EXTERNAL] Gobos

[Jon Ares]

Ah, that's a very good point. I too interpreted it to mean "stock"
gobos, and I like Goboman's "stock" gobos, although their stock
catalog is not nearly as deep as Rosco/GAM or Apollo.  But, what they
do stock is excellent quality in my opinion.

I've only had custom gobos made three times in 30+ years.... I did use
Goboman once for that (and it was fine) but my favorite was a
long-gone shop out of Nevada - something like N & N or something like
that. I vaguely recall a sad story as to why they shut down, but I
loved the quality of their custom gobos - jeweler's brass, as I
recall.
