Gobo Holders for Patt 23 Profiles

This is a cry for help. Can anyone tell me where I can acquire Gobo holders for Strand Patt 23 Profiles. An antique lantern I will admit but tis adequate for my use if I can lay my hands on two size A and two size B gobo holders that will fit. Anyone I know here in SA either looks at me blankly or clutches them to his/her heart as though they were worth more than diamonds. I am interested in purchasing rather than hiring or borrowing.

Ta very much in advance for any help.

Under normal circumstances I would break out the tin snips and build me a gobo holder but this particular job is actually a semi permanent installation in a shop and I have in the past had some problems with long term use of home made holders causing them to buckle and destroy the gobo. The two quotes I received for making the damn things from scratch in a metal work shop frightened me as it would have been cheaper to import them personally from the UK (air mail). I will make home made ones and continue my search for some in SA thanks anyway. Is that all there is? Well if that's all there is my friend, then let's keep dancing. www.tonymoore.id.au
