First let me start out by stating that I do not fall into the "lets ask the Control booth people about something completely ridiculous/out of our(my) league and do it anyway" category. i am too much of a safety nut and too cheap to brake stuff.
Anyway, while cleaning I found a home brew gobo. Its approx. the size of a normal gobo holder, and about 4 times the thickness. The pattern is plasma cammed out. its a common sheet metal.
question is .... is it safe to use this in a source 4?
My only concern is heat dispersion from the higher mass of the the home brew gobo.
Question 2-
The lamp bases on a couple of our s4s have are corroded. More specifically the ceramic sockets have corroded along with the prongs on the lamps them selves.
Inside the prong holes its all corroded and even slightly cracked around 1 of them.
I realize this is serious stuff, so do I call my original dealer and talk with them first? How do I play it safe ?
thanks,
chris
