Screen used Proton Pack from Ghostbusters in Profiles in History July 30/31 Hollywood Auction 

So do you, Dr. Jones lol

Agree 100%

Agreed

important? lol. Historical artifact yes....

Yup, surplus parts more or less assembled in a garage.

Very good explanation. Good luck getting them licensed ;)

donald barnard but if I had it I won’t sell it as a childhood dream come true I wouldn’t care how much it’s worth But sadly I have a prop one not a real one lol

@@daleearnhardtrobloxracingt8930 At least you have one.

@@daleearnhardtrobloxracingt8930 Do you mean a replica one? "Prop" usually implies you have the actual movie prop. And yeah, as Sniff says, at least you got one. Most people don't ever get to have one. They're hard to build, especially because of the rarity of some parts, and the pre-built ones goes for 1,000 something dollars.

@@Luka1180 No, I think I know what he means. After all, how awesome would it be to have a working firing Proton Pack?

I want it so bad 😬

Yea the 80's was the best dude!

And attach a crank knob

Worth EVERY nickel.

They got it cheap

lowalkoroc jeeze

Gold strait gold a Beutifull prop

seems about right tbh.

BARON XAVIER 😭😢😭😭😭😭T_T

Why are using that face

I miss him too

just don't make too neat. It supposed to be "from scratch"

Exactly. There is a close up scene of Bill Murray in GB 1 doing exactly that and another scene near the end when all of the GB are talking about how to attack Zul. Foam packs.

Ó Slattarra same for me I wanted one from gb1 first but I now have 4 of them 2 from gb1 and 2 from gb2

It was a movie... They only had 2 movies... (technically there were three movies because of Ghostbusters the video game and the new movie coming out in 2020)

Zachariah Partney you can buy replicas that look like the movie screen used proton packs that have something the movie ones don't that is actual sound FX and lights you will spend about $4000 Canadian dollars a little less in US dollars but it will absolutely be worth it I personally have 4 of them so that I can use them with my Ecto-1 replica car that I take to charity events and use with my local ghostbusters fan franchise hear in Canada.

Wrong, In the montage with Christmas Hats they are wearing GREY SUITS. Keep spreading lies around the community 🙄

@@christopherniceley8848 He's not talking about the dark colored suits in the Ghostbusters II montages (the ones with the Christmas hats). He's talking about the beige suits from the first movie. And he's right. They were a khaki ripstop fabric that under studio lighting and filmstock would often show up as a light gray color instead.

@@Benjamoose the suits were Sentinel Grey. I have one from Gibson and Banres which was the supplier of the Suits in GB2...

Yes, I understand that. Santos isn't talking about GBII's dark suits when they say "gray". They're referring to the light colored suits that appear in GB1 and parts of GBII. In the first movie, there was only one suit color, in the second movie, there were two. In the first movie the suits were a khaki ripstop material. Additionally Gibson and Barnes didn't use their own materials, the material was supplied to them (formally Flight Suits Ltd.) by the studio and then manufactured by them. The suits appear as follows: 1. GB1 (Light) - Khaki Ripstop Fabric 2. GB2 (Light B) - Khaki Herringbone Fabric 3. GB 2 (Dark) - Sentinel Gray/Charcoal Santos is talking about the two light variations (1. and 2.). Both of which are Khaki/Tan in real life, but confuse a lot of people as they appeared to look a light-gray color in the movie due to film stock and studio lighting.

Dennis Cornetta I don't think it would've made any sounds, but if the electronics were not fried it probably would've lit up.

The proton packs never made any sounds anyway. They were added by the special effects later on. They only lit up

They did not have sound or power up at all in the movie it was done by special effects the only ones that turn on are any fan made replica using mp3 sounds FX from the original movies.

@@RavenTheLabrador That is not true. They did have lighting put into them. But not the sounds.

@@RavenTheLabrador it's pretty stupid to say that when you clearly see lights come on especially the cyclotron and bar graph on the gun. You're WAY off dude

Greg Adams not really because between gb1 and gb2 things didn't go well for them and basically were no longer in business as ghostbusters they didn't even all work together anymore.

The proton pack is not a toy Lol

Wrong, watch the birthday scene again and you can clearly see the thicker shoulder straps, then they are the smaller straps when Ray and Winston walk out of the party 🙄 the editing was all over the place in GB2 when it came to the straps....

Definitely Miami Vice what trilogy there was never a Trilogy made of Ghostbusters so what are you even talking about? You must be one of the people who wants to pretend that you are a true fan but really doesn't know much or anything about the Ghostbusters.

GBFans is the place for all your source needs

For the people in my group (The Ghostbusters Of Salt Lake City) it really just depends on what movie you are basing your pack off of... if you are making a GB1 proton pack, we just stick to the straps that dont have padding to match what is seen in the film. If we are making a GB2 proton pack (identified by the different ribbon cable) we will try and get the padded straps. (also to match what is seen in the film)

Well if I had the skills to build my very own proton pack, I would definitely base mine on the GB2 style proton pack with padded shoulder straps so that it would feel more relaxing in my shoulders. Like I mentioned earlier, the company or companies that manufactured alice pack straps should've had padding put inside the shoulder straps in the first place so the prop makers wouldn't have to go through the trouble to put padding inside the straps.

turtlelover789 I'm part of a Ghostbusters fan franchise in Canada and I personally like the gb1 proton pack just because I like thing to be as I originally seen them. As for the company doing anything like that why would they have done that it's not like they made them for the movie ghostbusters or for any movie for that matter. They are and were made for a specific reason and they have / had no problem selling them so really no reason to change them. :-)

lol Nice try but no. It IS H. Ramis' pack.

Carter Hughes just save you can get a really great one for around $4000. Canadian dollars it would be less than $4000 in US dollars or if you're thinking about getting one currently it is currently August 2018 they are taking pre-orders for proton packs that are literally cast from an actual screen used one and they're being called the Spengler Legacy proton pack and they will come with a certificate of authenticity from from Sony Pictures and they even offer a payment plan to purchase them. So it's now an option for anyone who wants one.

So am I! (Eight years later, but with a consumer FDM printer and a lot of plastic. Someone else did the design work thank goodness.)

It sold in auction years ago... $130,000...

Kyle Mann go to gbfans.com there are tutorials, forums and free blueprints you can use.

Just buy one you can get a screen accurate proton pack for around $4000. Canadian dollars less in US dollars but it will be able to do everything the screen used ones could never do and that's the sound FX and the lights it's very worth it I've personally purchased 4 of them to use with my Ecto -1 replica car that I use at charity events to help raise money for good causes that I support.

At Sony and with private collectors

It sold for 130k

Dude this is tne original movie proton pack... The ones on eBay are just factory made movie accurate versions
