I’m called “eltee” as that is my name at work, short for lieutenant (“Lt”). I’ve been a cop since 1980, and have been a licensed gun dealer since the 90’s. I build and collect props including prop firearms. I’m known on some of the various prop and gun websites.
Years ago I acquired a fairly poor, beatup proton pack. I let it sit until a couple of years ago. I met Exoray on another site and discovered he “knew a little bit” about Proton Packs and all things Ghostbuster. I arranged for him to upgrade my pack but once he saw it he realized it pretty much needed rebuilding. So, he rebuilt it and added the light system. I got it back in pristine condition but I wanted it used looking so I recently found time to weather it. I emphasized weathering on those areas where the pack had a nick or casting void. Here are some pics of my pack.
I also added metal knobs and a real crank, and mounted the crank so it would turn. I used real parts wherever possible. I reinforced the ion arm to pack connection as well as the pack to motherboard connection so it is sturdy enough to wear on Halloween. This pack is a blend of GB and GB2 and I am very happy with it. I’m sure I will be continually improving this pack with time. This site has been a great resource. THANK YOU.
