I found this over the weekend and took some more picture of it than I could find using the new search function so I thought I’d post them up. Kind of a obscure prop but a GB prop none the less.

Nice! I have the digital version. Found it useful to calibrate the home theater surround sound system than toting it as a prop. ---

I got one of these off eBay a couple months ago for $2. I was the only bidder. The shipping brougt it up to about $11 total. It included the carrying case and the instruction sheet. I also bought a lens case from Wal-Mart for another $10 and modified it slightly to make a sturdier pouch for carrying it on my web belt. Alex ---

I put a fresh 9v battery in mine for the first time just now, happy to report it still functions. Had also never noticed the threaded hole on the back, which can accomodate the mounting plate of my tripod! Looks almost like a phaser in the horizontal position. 😉 Alex ---

Im trying to get one of these right now. I think it would be a great addition to my GB2 uniform. How well do the carrying cases work with belts? Sent from my SGH-T759 using Ghostbusters Fans on Android ---

when I looked there was one for 9.99 on the buy it now option- I should have bought now after reading that the bids on these are getting high. But to be honest I really can’t remember when it was used in the film. I think it was with Egon when he was talking with Dana at the university, testing emotional levels or something. Good luck to ya! ---

Egon uses it near the end of the movie, once they’re inside the museum fighting Vigo, and Ray can be seen with it in production stills of the ghost jogger scene. As for the carrying case, in my opinion it won’t work with a belt. Too flimsy, no way to attach it. So I bought a camera lens case from Wal-Mart for $10 and modified that. You can see it before and after conversion in this video: https://www.youtube.com/embed/6X9w3C5NQw8?feature=oembed&wmode=opaque Alex ---

Has anybody wondered why they use it in the movie? I made up the idea that they use it to detect sounds emmited by paranormal substances. ( A ghost moans, it detects it, a living creature makes a noise, it shows nothing.) What do u guys think? Sent from my SGH-T759 using Ghostbusters Fans on Android ---

Probably they used it in the same way they used Radiacmeter IM179/U Military Gamma Dose Rate Meter in the first movie, to signify something big ( I.E. Stay Puft’s appearance) was about to happen, without having to use the PKE or gigameter. but who knows it may have been they just thought it looked neat.

Here’s a photo of the screen-used Sound Level Meter pouch. The strap originally had a D-ring, which then connected to the GB1-style fob (far right). Ray seems to wear it in all of the NYC shots, and then Egon wears it for the rest of the LA shooting. ![ray-gb2-05-detail.jpg](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/2X/6/6ba4b8ea45218240006deaff517a6e45d9d41df7.jpeg) ---
