I had an aquaintance of mine make a [Ghost Trap](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/ghost-trap) for me. Unfortunately I forgot to specify otherwise so he made it so that the Cartridge seperates from the base like it does in the movie. In the current form, I cannot hang the trap from my belt like in the movie, so I was wondering if anyone knew of any way of securing the Cartridge into the base without resorting to glueing it in…incase I may need that feature later… ---

Well, someone will bring this up anyway, so I might as well chime in. Magnets are easy solution, even if you need to do a little work on the trap to get them in. As for the easy source of powerful magnets, get an old hard drive, and pull it apart, there are two super strong magnets inside, just waiting to be used.. Just watch out for your fingers as you try the strenght on those, it hurts when you get your fingers in the between.. ---

Just watch out for your fingers as you try the strenght on those, it hurts when you get your fingers in the between.. I never thought of getting magnets out of a hard drive. I got mine off of ebay, some of those earth magnets aka neodymium magnets. These come in a varity of sizes I got 30 for $5, that are 1/16 inch thick and 1/8 wide.
