Haha…I love that imaginary switch. Year after year, it makes GB fans scratch their heads. I like seeing people build it into their packs. ---

When I was younger, I had always just assumed that it was something to do with the [ion knob](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/ion-knob) or shock mount or what ever we are calling it today… ---

i did something similar to this also. i have a throw switch mounted below the screwhead/washer bit, nearer to the powercell. i thought the place egon reaches would have been between the top of the [power cell](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack/power-cell) and the bottom of the [ion arm](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/aluminum-welded-ion-arm), but couldn’t mount my switch in that little space without having planned on doing it in my build process. thats were i plan on putting it in my second pack.
