I just received a grocery list of parts I need to assemble a proton pack, except I can’t figure what’s what with certain items.
If anyone can provide a pic of what these parts are, I’d greatly appreciate it! Many thanks…
Alkon connectors for the attenuator
Banjo tips for the end of the proton gun wand tip
Preliminary Power Distribution also known as the PPD… Apparently it sits on the Attenuator box below the booster frame and next to the 2 round disks.
go here: http://gbprops.com/wiki/
scroll to the bottom of the page. There is a picture of a pack that is labeled with reference photos attached so when you click it, a new page opens expanding on it.
That should take care of most things.

Secondly, go here:
Aside from finding great labels to print and put on your pack when your done, If you scroll to the bottom there is a section that says “‘Bugstomper’ Proton Pack plans.” Under there, there is an overview to a full pack and other invaluable resources to start your project.
Hope this helps,
Joe
better yet, go here http://gbparts.danawheels.net/pack.html and when charles walkers pictures load, look at what youre buying from him… theyre labelled…
Mislabeled / Identified as Alkon connectors they are really straight Legris connectors…
I have a few real ones left if you are interested…
How much are you asking for those, Flynn? I got two from GBProps’ store for my pack, but I’d like to get another one for a trap.
And for cplbeaudoin’s questions, the PPD is pretty straight forward. It’s just a dowel, or other round-bar material, cut at an angle. The other parts you’ll have to build yourself on the booster parts, and hope you get lucky on finding Nycoils. You can get the newer versions, but they’re nickel-plated, rather than straight brass like the originals, and I think they’re shorter. The older ones are going to be next to impossible to find. My recommendation, try and find a store that sells pneumatic parts in your area, and ask them. You may get lucky, and they’ll have the old ones, but it’s more likely they’ll have the newer ones.

Thanks for all the resources…!
