Damn you, why do you have to be so damned ingenious?!
It’s just how Im wired 
I do lots of things where people are like “how did you think of that?” and it’s just me.
I did something like this before where I made my GF a ghosttrap purse and I bought one of those GB costumes from a halloween store w/ an inflatable proton pack. I added blinky lights to the ghost trap purse and I used googly eyes on it as screws/bolts as you did. I also added blinky lights to the balloon pack, I just glued them on. Any how I bought my blinky lights from blinkee.com I feel this is a very good source, hope it helps.
I’ll post pics of what it looked like if I can find the purse and inflatable pack.
Exactly what I say sometimes when really really good props come out of nothing but some junk and time. I’ve started to train myself to think this way also. When I see random things that might be trash I try and picture what part of what prop that could be used on, and so on. Every single day now I stumble across something that reminds me of doing ghostbuster props or something that looks like a part to a prop. Whenever I see Yellow and black lines on some warning signs or something I automatically think of a ghost trap no matter what, its like its hard wired programmed into my brain now.
Hah… yeah. Welcome to my world 
At least you never are bored when you are stuck in a store for some reason.
I think what the prob I ran into is that I got a storage box but one like u keep nails and screws in. Is the one u got made for like pencils and stuff like that? And the lights I couldn’t find so I had to buy from sylvania website. And they’re kinda rubbery where the button is. theres stickyness on the bottom to stick em to things but u gotta turn em on manually. I cant seem to glue anything to it to keep the lights on either. Feels like I’ve tried everything.
My box had compartments too. And the lights and the boxes are still at Fred Meyer / Kroger as I saw them just yesterday. The lights are in the isle where other tap and night lights are kept at. I just peeled and stuck them in, and yes you have to turn them on manually. Your lights are turning themselves off?
the lights i got u have to press them to turn on n hold the button in to stay on. They dont stay on by themselves.
They might be somewhat defective then as I bought another set of them and 2 of the lights wouldn’t stay on either.
I tried to make a pke like this but it faltered bad, first it was those lights, and then the graph paper I used wouldnt stick and I kinda ran outta ideas for it to stick, I tried glue, tape, glue stick nothing. Idk what else to do for it to work…
Bradester, I’ve just been looking up a lot of your old threads - so much ingenuity.
You could seriously release a “do-it-yourself props” craft book or something. I mean, $9 for a PKE meter? That rocks.
Hah thanks! I just have a way of thinking where I can break things down into their simple shapes. Most people get frustrated when trying to make something, saying it’s too complicated. But all a complex shape is, is a few simple ones put together.
Wow not bad at all for what you used, and the price is great
I like your dollar store builds, they are very creative.
Thanky! It’s awesome that after 4 years people are still having fun with everything!
Sweet, I’ll have to do something similar for my 7yr olds uniform. I saw a lint brush there the other day I may use in place.
couple of things,
one, incredible job on all of your stuff, love every bit of it and you helped me complete my pack BTW.
two, where did you print your screen from? do you have any videos out there of this working with the lights? where did you get the on off switch? is it really sticking here just by a magnet? AHHH SO MANY QUSTIONS!! love this thing!
Hi, wow still some love for this little beasty lol. The screen was just something designed really fast in PowerPoint. The switch at the time was from Radio Shack, so now you will have to look online or at Ace Hardware or Wilco Farm supply probably, the magnet was glued on; and YES there is one video of the lights located here 20 reactions · 12 comments | Who has 2 thumbs and just rebuilt a Ghostbusters-styled PKE Meter for $12 total?

Wow, what kind of glow sticks are those on the top? That thing is awesome!!
The Glow Sticks were removed as they became soft with time, so those replacements are just 2 straws from a Dollar Tree cup/straw/lid combo.
