A rolling one, then the one with the lights that “opens”. The one with lights that opens in that scene has the doors inset deeper into the body of the trap. And neither have the flat head screw in the front display box like the one in the reference section. If anything, the one in the reference section is probably the one from the containment unit demo scene in the first movie. > > > > As for the actual subject as to what knobs are “accurate,” I’m still not completely sure myself. Yeaaah… As far as we know, the trap from the Sedgewick scene didn’t have a separate cartridge. Case in point: did the prop makers really went through the trouble of making a plug for the electronics in a cartridge trap? Don’t think so. Methinks that the cartridge trap didn’t even have electronics, and that the Sedgewick trap didn’t have a removable cartridge. As for the accuracy of the knobs, it’s a real big mess; especially with the several hero traps for GB1 (that may or may not have been retrofitted for GB2) It’s mostly guesswork at this point. ---

Okeydokey. I was asking because they’re EXACTLY the same as on the trap in the reference section, but they’re not the same as the ones in the screen-caps. Just wanting to makes sense of it all (I did bought a set, after all :P) ---

OK lets see if I can straighten this out: The GB1/GB2 trap seen in the referance section as well as the PH DC trap has the second movie trap knobs added , it seems that the GB1 traps just had the knobs glued on. I have photo with a trap in it and all the front knobs are missing and all you can see is glue rings around where the knobs were. Another strange note is that the side plates on the GB1 traps only had bolts on the hero version, the stunt/ background version had no screws holding the plates on. The [tear drop knobs](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/trap-tear-drop-knob) did come with the “dial” or “skirt” and they have a line on the face, I have one that Keith Marshall sent me years ago. I’ve just bought a whole lot of the tear drop knobs and matching amounts of the plain knobs with dial and machined the dials loose so I can attach them to the tear drops. > [@AJ Quick](#): > > > [@Filandrius](#): > > > > They’re not the same at all.

Wow this is a sticky wicket, no they are not the correct ones but are a very good correct sized close match. ---

Soooo.. when should I be checking ‘For Sale’ for a knob thread? Also, would you happen to have any better shots of the silver front knob from the ballroom scene? I see it sneaking around up in the corner of one of those pictures. 🙂 ---

These are the dials ive been selling copies of for a while now. If they are the correct ones they must have painted the black circle and silver ring on the tips… ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/nick-a-tron/Dials.jpg) ---

A very naughty banned member named Ddevil192. He sold me a set of dials a long time ago, when I was first getting into casting and selling parts. I have no idea where he got them from. Sorry. ---

Ah yes, looking at the sreen shots I see what you mean. Also the silver knob seems to be smooth on the sides. Look like both my dials are inaccurate. ---
