I’ve been collecting reference material for a while because there seems to be confusion about what the ECTO-1A Dot Matrix LED signs actually show, to the point where the recently released Haslab ECTO-1A contains multiple errors.
I figured it’s probably time to share what I have with the community a…
Finally at the point where I can share this. Back in November I decided to improve on my CAD skills by trying to replicate Holtzmann’s remote trigger armband prop. If you don’t recall, this is what she uses to trigger the release of the trap pedal, it ejects the pedal across the stage during the con…
One of the props on display in the John Zabrucky exhibition in Ohio (<a href="https://www.gbfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=52327" rel="noopener nofollow ugc">as I covered here</a>) is a “Programmable Miniature Atomic Bomb”.

As part of the South Australia Ghostbusters setup at conventions (and other events) we have shelves setup with lab equipment, similar to what you’d find in Egon’s lab at the firehouse. It adds another layer of fun and immersion, and flashing lights definitely get attention from passers-by.

Hi all!
Now that the <a href="https://allmylinks.com/saghostbusters">South Australia Ghostbusters</a> have grown large enough, we decided late last year to start work on our own Ecto Containment Unit (ECU).
We’ve been greatly inspired by the amazing work done by the <a href="https://www.gbfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36847">Southland Ghostbusters</a>, although at this stage we’re less concerned with screen acc…
This was sparked by a question posted in the Arduino for Ghostbusters Props Facebook group, but I thought it might be interesting to some people here.
I was able to reverse engineer and digitally recreate the post-capture beeps of the 84 trap by analyzing the audio from the Sedgewick ballroom scene…
Thanks to Tristen (killer96) releasing his amazing digital files for the GB2 Tripod Traps, I ended up building a set of these over the past few months for our South Australia Ghostbusters display table.
It was a really enjoyable build, and I highly recommend building these for your franchise!
I’ll…
