THE Ghostbusters ribbon cable, Spectrastrips are gay.

A while back there was some renewed action on trying to find the source of the GB1 ribbon cable. It was pretty clear that it would be a certain impossibility to find, I figured I try to make one.

I did a few tests, I found the right colored wires (stripes included) and here is what I came up with:

Unrelated note: this is my 1/6 scale pack I made like 6 years ago:

Incredible.

You know it is.

You are planning on selling these, right JM? They’re frickin’ perfect!

I’d be down for 2.

Thanks guys. :slight_smile:

Yes, I am pretty proud of how they came out.

As far as selling, what would be of more interest:

    • Just buying a completed cable set up
  • Buying the wires and getting instructions how to do it yourself

Hint: one will cost you less :wink:

I’d be in for a low cost… but I build most of my stuff, so it doesn’t count. LOL

How much brighter do you think it should it be?

I make great parts, never said I was a great photographer.

I’m just pretty happy that we have two fantastic versions of this ribbon cable that are in progress!

Nice work on the GB1 ribbon cable

See, I grew up in the 80’s and “gay” was a term people used to indicate “silly” or “stupid”.

And back in the early half of the 20th century “gay” meant happy. So if I said, “Spectrastrips are happy” it would have made no sense.

If I said “Spectrastrips are homosexual” that would have made even less sense.

If I said, “Your mom was great last night”, that would have been insensitive.

EDIT - No fair nosilliT you changed your reply!

wow! Do you have a better pick of the 1/6 scale? There are a lot of talented people here. : )

Im interested… As long as you can post to the UK?
