hello all! I’ve been building this Spirit Halloween 2021 version for my son for next Halloween. It’s a WIP Completed: 1. Frankengeek lights and sound kit (using [afterlife](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/ghostbusters-afterlife) startup sounds) 2. Frankengeek wand kit 3. Talentcell battery packs with externally accessible charging ports (one is for the Frankengeek stuff, the other will be for amp/speakers) 4. New [motherboard](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/motherboard) with cutouts for battery pack toggles 5. _Add externally accessible microsd card reader so I can change sounds easily: [Amazon.com](https://a.co/d/dNsfVHF?tag=gbfans-discourse-20)_ (didn’t work I tried multiple extensions) 6. Get some foamy felt replacement with new cutout flaps for the motherboard 7. Add adafruit 20w amp [Amazon.com](https://a.co/d/2diyPrU?tag=gbfans-discourse-20) 8. 4” speakers (hence the need for a wooden motherboard) [Amazon.com](https://a.co/d/2XscB6E?tag=gbfans-discourse-20) 9. Mount to an ALICE frame 10. Weathering 11. Decals (Moby weathered v2) 12. Magnetic vhook (Etsy) Videos of pack and wand startup so far Pack [![](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/c/2/c25c8939e454d7eb5d63b544797c5017f771ce90.jpeg "Spirit Halloween & Frankengeek Afterlife Pack Startup") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyNPqjtoOx4) Wand [![](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/b/1bcb240862ea67eac41586427b1c4e1afcc5bd78.jpeg "Spirit Halloween & Frankengeek Afterlife Wand Startup") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKBWfjzHgEY) Amp and speakers test [![](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/1/2/127929095dcf5aac552edffcbbbf0b51e7289446.jpeg "Adafruit MAX9744 Spirit Halloween Frankengeek Test") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg-FoKuzpGM) Thanks for looking!

Mounted the amp and added volume controls. Test fit with the speakers and everything fits and works fine.

Magnetic “vhook” and gun rail painted and jb plastic welded on. Will apply some weathering to the pieces too. Painted the magnet then scratched off the paint for a little authentic weathering too. ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/6/0/60dd4f800773608024537523fe0a4e4e423104c3.jpeg) ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/0/9/09cbff363c044415082366fa88743b8c09430e6a.jpeg) ---
