Everyone who enjoys building props should check this website out!!! [http://www.surplussales.com](http://www.surplussales.com) They’ve got some amazingly cool parts at pretty reasonable prices. I was looking around today and just messing around decided to type in “[Proton Pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack)” in the search field… I GOT A HIT! Pretty crazy but it led me to this page. [http://www.surplussales.com/ShaftHardware/Knobs-12.html](http://www.surplussales.com/ShaftHardware/Knobs-12.html) Look at the [crank knob](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/crank-knob) in the top left! Now I know it says that it’s the baby brother of the one used from the movie but any website that will list it’s components as being used on a proton pack is a GOOD website in my book! In fact they have a ton of raytheon knobs… didn’t they also use some of those on the [ghost traps](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap)? And a ton of [Dale resistors](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/dale-resistors) I just haven’t been able to find the right model numbers (because I don’t know them), and I wasn’t able to find linrose lights but there were a couple pilot lights… they all ran off 120ac but I guess you could hack into them and just use the plastic caps. Anyway, I think it would be cool if you find a part useful to ghostbusting on that site… just list the link here. ---

Yeh but they’re onto us, $65 for a [crank knob](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/crank-knob) for your Ghostbusters [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) :lol: Buy yourself a resin one for far less. Irri ---

That is the same site reference on this website in regards to found parts… > [@](#): > > Yeh but they’re onto us Honestly that is the going rate for these things new, with or without the GB knowledge… I have seen them in multiple electronics catalogs and never under the $70ish price new… It’s that damn military (MIL-K-3926) specification that drives the price of this specific knob so high… I agree that for most people a resin copy is plenty good… ---

That may be a little bit of a let down, but I just put it here mainly so everyone else could check it out. I’ve always had a little mad scientist streak myself and LOVE it when I find surplus places like this! Many goodies to ogle!
