I watched this video "LITERALLY" 100 times. Noway can I do this myself. LMAOOOOOOO....I guess GOD MADE US ALL TALENTED IN SO MANY,MANY DIFFERENT WAYS MY FRIEND.
Michael, give it a try. You might surprise yourself.
Oh my god this is exactly what I was looking for!!! Also your next video about mounting the Alice frame!!! You’re reading my mind!!!
Great work!! Subscribed.
Glad I could help! Working on the Alice integration after I send this comment.
Just the video I was looking for. Thank you!
You're welcome. There are more Ghostbuster build videos I made in this series.
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.
Glad to hear, thanks for leaving a comment.
Best video on this topic ..I can’t wait to try it thanks
Thanks for the feedback. Stay tuned for more videos, I've come up with some more ideas.
great work! makes it accessible to those who cant get a haslab pack :)
Yup. I think its a good compromise overall. Thanks for your comments. Keep them coming.
While I love mine, the Hasbro Spengler pack being specifically modeled after the Afterlife pack kind of rubbed me the wrong way once the excitement wore off so I modded the snot out of one of these. Combining the Hasbro wand to my decked out classic 80s Spirit pack is the final touch. Thanks so much for the video you made it super easy for me. My lazy ass didn't even make a hole for the buttons I just squeeze the hose in the right spot and she fires right up.
Glad my video helped you. Did you also add the Alice pack? That's this week's build.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow Yep! I used the GBFans one made specifically for the full sized Spirit which sounds better than how it actually worked out. I got there eventually though! Will def check out how you went about it!
@@MakeItorBreakItNow Sorry to jump in, but I'll probably follow your video as I add Alice to my Spirit 23. People like you have made this whole thing very accessible to me and I'm grateful to you for your contribution to the community. Thank you.
This answers my questions I would definitely pay for someone to do this
Give it a shot, you might be surprised what you can do.
This was insanely easy to do and makes the pack look SO much better. Thanks for the walk thru. Spirit does a great job with the pack but the thrower looks like a toy. Now it looks like a real pack. "I DID CUT THE RED WIRE!" I wonder if anyone else caught your Lethal Weapon 3 joke...
Can you please help me out I’m trying to do the same thing do you does does it? I’m trying to get the sound from the gun but not the sound from the pack and put the lights in the pack.
Glad it worked for you. Also happy that you picked up the movie reference.
Made things so much better....
It did, I'm thinking about changing out the plastic cable protector and adding a switch to the top. Stay tuned for those.
I'm going to do this soon with a Hasbro 1984 Neutrona Wand on a life-size Spirit pack.
Let me know how it turns out for you.
Super useful video, thank you! I wonder if your original idea, putting a control on the pack itself, would work with a switch instead of a button? In universe, the pack turns on with a switch under the ion arm.
It could, and eventually I might mod my pack to be more authentic, but wanted to show a method others could easily do with limited inkering knowledge.
Great work! I wanted to ask you: do you plan on making a video on 100% linking the pack and wand, so they are in sync, possibly using the GhostLab42 Spengler Link set?
Thanks. Maybe... There are a couple more details I plan to do to take this costume to the next level, just need to find the time.
I finally got my Spangler wand and this video helped a lot. Unfortunately when I took the foam off the pack to secure a v hook, all the tiny screws broke off. Lol
Glad to hear my video helped you, sorry to hear about your V hook issue, how did you fix it?
Wow I was wanting to do this with my spirit pack! Are you going to change the cycletron lights to green for the slime blower?
Not on this one. If Haslab puts out a Frozen Empire version I might get one...
You can also carefully use a heat gun on the hose and slip it over the threaded end on the thrower handle
That's a good idea 4thdoctor, thank for sharing.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow Just be sure to be REALLY careful applying heat to the hose. A second too much it can melt. It's not a bad idea to get old junk split loom hose to practice with the heat gun
I more so want to put the wires into the Spengler wand and have the wand to control the pack.
That's possible for sure, but I wanted to show here an easier approach that almost anyone can do.
I’m working out how I want to attach my Spengler to the spirit 1:1 also. I have a working replica of the power switch from the Afterlife pack that I think I’ll wire up to the power switch from the pack’s wand. 🤔
Wow, sounds interesting. Let me know how it turns out.
Slight correction for you, the Spengler Wand isn't a HasLab product, it was a mass retail release.
The Spengler Pack however was a HasLab.
Other than that, great video and I'll be following it and the aux mod for the Spengler Wand soon.
Thanks for the correction.
How well do the zip ties hold up over time? Does the hose from the pack stay secure to the wand?
Greg, the zip ties are holding up great, no issues so far, check out my latest video to see for yourself: ua-cam.com/video/5Q7WR0RO_iE/v-deo.html
@makeitorbreakit do you have it to where the sound comes out the gun only and the lights on the pack
both, hopefully my response to your other questions gave you the answer you were looking for.
I wonder if you heated up that loom if it would stretch enough
maybe, I've got another approach for the tube and moving the Spirit switch into the proton pack, just need a bit of time to film the video, stay tuned.
Oh! So it's not too different from what I did with my 80% pack and customized MOD Wand. On that one I just took the Sprint Wand guts and shoved them inside the MOD Wand and created a hole for it's buttons on the trigger box.
Great minds think alike sometimes...
I have a question @MakeItorBreakItNow for the wand on the Spirit Halloween pack did you keep both buttons and put them in the hose or did you get rid of the fire button? i have my wand apart and have a small grey wire going to the on and off to the fire button just wondering what i should do
Peter, I kept both buttons for now. I have an idea I'm working on for a a detachable hose and rerouting the wire into the pack and putting a switch on the side... Stay tuned.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow ah OK makes it easier for me then because I watched this video a few times and couldn't tell if you kept it or not I got my thrower dismantled on my pack now I just need wire cutters or nail clippers not sure on the clippers a 1cm dowel or glue and a small hole for the on/off switch
So I’m confused….how is the wand connected to the pack with just that little stubby end? The HasLab pack has a big long insert that goes in the handle and the connectors are way at the bottom.
Just the stubby end and some cable ties once you slide into the tube.
Would it be possible to solder the wires that connect to the button inside of the actual switch in the Hasbro wand?
Yes, but I wanted to show a version that was reversible and easy for folks who may not know how to solder.
Hey what's up friend....it's Mike....
I really wanted to buy a pack and put it in my gym for display. I have been building this really nice gym in my house and I thought It would be cool to have it hanging on the wall. I really didn't want to spend the 1,000 on ebay I mentioned for the 84' afterlife pack. I feel so ripped off.... So I wanted to do what you did. I thought about Picking up a 1:1 spirit pack and changing out the gun for the spengler wand and throwing away the toy like spirit wand that came with the pack. I thought it would be super easy like just unscrewing the hose from the spirit wand and connecting the new spengler wand. Lol nothings easy in life! I learned that when I was 17.
I had no idea it was this complicated.
I can't be cutting any wires. I'm not very skilled in that area. When I was in my freshman year of college I had a really nice new model trans am... I was trying to add 29 more horse power by cutting the screen in my already installed K and N air system intake and I cut the wrong wire and the entire car had a short circuit. It cost me 1,500 bux to have a proff shop fix it and I promised myself never to cut wires again. I was 20 then.lol ....I'm 39 now and I haven't cut a wire since unless I was connecting speaker extensions.
Should I just buy the after life pack on ebay and get ripped off because I can't even attach the Alice frame??? I honestly have to pay a handy man like you to put together the simplest equipment in my weight room.
Any thoughts?
Ps. Plussssssd if I get a pack then I have to buy the trap and the meter as well. It's mandatory for me. It's all or nothing for me. What should I do????????????????
This is why I decided to bury the wires in the wand cord, so folks wouldn't have to re-wire anything. It's working great. I see what you mean about the trap and meter... But they'd still be cheaper than buying the $1400 red coat shown in the new movie...
@@MakeItorBreakItNow the coats 1500 bux?! Dammmmmmm!
You got 1 didn't you? Lol... It's nice though.....where did you buy the coat from?
@@MakeItorBreakItNow another note......you needed that on and off switch for sound effects like you were saying in the beginning of the video. When you stop the stream it has to have that signature cut off noise. You know what I mean. The power down when the you shut your proton stream ....you did it perfect. I don't know wdf I'm doing ...lol
That 1 inch dowel you used, is it just held in place through friction fit?
It's not glued in place... yet. The cable ties are working great so far, keeping everything tight and aligned.
great video! .. what did you do to the spirit wand? would you be willing to sell it? i could use a bigger wand for my 80% pack but i would like to go cheap. if you still have your spirit wand would you be willing to sell it?
Thanks. Glad you like the video. I have the Spirit wand, it's in parts, not much to it really, might be better to just build you own, which I plan to do someday when I have more time. Sorry it's not for sale...
@@MakeItorBreakItNow thanks for the reply, honestly i dont mind it being in parts. if you want to get rid of it that is i would like to still get it from you 😁
1:37 Okay I’m totally curious which wires did you cut? Was it the red and white ones leading up the barrel?
The white and red ones leading to the LED on the end of the wand.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow okay thanks so much now it makes it much easier to cypher
Is the sound from the gun only coming from the gun and not the pack?
The enduring sounds is from the wand the pack only makes noise when you turn the lights on and when you turn them off.
If i put my spengler wand on the it the stock v hook the spirit halloween one it cane with, would it break?
Mines going strong so far. When I put on my Alice pack I plan to reinforce the Spirit mount. Stay tuned for that mod. And with any proton pack configuration you need to be careful sliding it back on when you're wear the proton pack. Or have a friend help you. Notice in the movies they take the want off the proton pack better you don't see them slide it back on because its tricky.
That’s weird because my Spengler wand doesn’t fit my full size spirit wedge.
The hook on the Spengler wand is too big for my spirit wedge mount so it slides right past it.
@@Kevin-qj4yz you need to put the spirit halloween v hook on the spengler wand
@@Kevin-qj4yz so you unscrew the spirit halloween neutrona wand vhook off, and put that one of the spengler wand
@@Kevin-qj4yz use the spengler wand screws
Hey Meyers? How are you? Sorry to bother you but I have a question????
Can you tell me what size phillips screwdriver opens the Proton wand on the 1:1 spirit pack?
I'm going to connect the 1984 style wand to the spirit pack like in the video you made! I was wondering if you could tell me what size phillips screwdriver I'll need to open the wand on the spirit pack to get to the wires????? I'm not very good at tools.
Thankyou
Michael, not sure but this screwdriver I use has all the options. Get one of these and you'll be golden: amzn.to/4bkeWRu
@@MakeItorBreakItNow Thankyou very very very much Mike..... That means alot to me. I definitely will. It's inexpensive also.
Hey...Check it out.....I saw how nice the pack you made looked. Its gorgeous. I said to myself I'd like to get one with the 84 wand. I'm going to buy a 30w PA system mini amplifier with a wireless mic and hook it to the Proton gun so it's loud as can be. Lol. Since I'm not gifted enough to open the gun and make the speaker bigger that's my only option. Butttttttttt......I think 30w will be enough power to give that proton blaster some emphasis to it. I'm going to mic the pedal and trap also and mount the amplifier to the top of the pack so it's right next to my ear. Should be fun. I'm trying to find some hobbies besides weights you know what I mean. This should be fun. Thanks again for showing me how to wire everything. I'll keep you updated and keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Mike
@@MakeItorBreakItNow Hey Mike,how have you been? Thanks again for helping. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do.
How did you like the New Movie? It's a little more family oriented and less adult like the first 2 movies. I miss Harold's scripts. I enjoyed the movie. I just miss having Harold around. It seemed a little more cartoon-ish and less like a film to me. It was still cool to watch. I actually watched it a couple times.
Sincerely,
--Mike
Somebody please help me does he have it to wear the sound from the guns coming out the speaker of the pack or is the sound only coming from the gun and the lights are working from the pack
both have sound but the wand is louder, at least mine is.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow so how do you get the sounds from both and the lights
@@MakeItorBreakItNow I have the splegler wand which is pretty loud
I like it how you SNAPPED THOSE SWITCHES BACK ALL SWIFT AND SMOOTH !!!!!!!!.... Lmaooooo awesome....
--REASON BEING IS BECAUSE I ACTUALLY WAS A PROFESSIONAL DRUMMER IN MY 20'S...I'm A REALLY COOL GUY.....I PLAYED FOR many LOCAL BANDS AND A LOT OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES. I PUT OUT 2 DEMO CD'S CALLED EP'S AND LP'S WITH TWO DIFFERENT BANDS. I DIDN'T HIT THE BIG ONE BUT "AH WELL".....I WAS GOING TO DO A CHRISTIAN ALBUM BUT I didn't because THE CHURCH RELOCATED AND I WAS IN COLLEGE AT THE TIME FOR CARDIOPULMONARY Therapy. You See ..... I WAS BUILT LIKE A JOCK. SO THAT WAS VERY UNUSUAL IN MY DAY. USUALLY MUSICIANS ARE TO THEMSELVES AND VERY THIN. THEY CALL THEM "EMO" IN MY GENERATION. JOCKS ARE, YOU KNOW ,FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND STUFF. I NEVER REALLY PLAYED SPORTS. I WAS MORE INTO MY CARS AS YOU HEAR ME MENTION THEM ALOT. Plus I am a VERY PRETTY GUY SO to me I focused alot on my Looks and girls..... You look REALLY young you know. Your very talented !!!!! Are you married?????? I was engaged twice but felt I was to young since I was in my mid 20s and backed out. I met sum1 last year and just put a ring on her finger. We're not engaged yet, but I'm thinking about it. That's why I asked if you were married or divorced. Any advice for a younger guy who can learn from an man who is older then him?????
Your Friend,
-----Mike
Ps. I want your Pack, ha.
Just 1 thing. We gotta get rid of the orange safety cap. When you walk around with an UNLICENSED NUCULER EXCELLERATOR on your back you can't put an Orange cap on it, lol.......Who cares what the authorities say. This pack is way to Cool for that stuff. I don't want to "Nerd" it up. You're tooooo cool for that stuff man.
If you're drummer you got awesome hand eye skills already. Not sure I could play drums like that...
@@MakeItorBreakItNow I noticed we all have different gifts. But yes,I'm going to figure something out. I got lucky because I had a really good drum teacher when I was 17. Did your dad teach you how to do all this stuff or did you learn on your own? My dad got me into cars early. I always had a passion for chick's until I figured out it doesn't matter how good looking you are. They are all a pain in the you know what. Lol
Gotta keep it clean for UA-cam. HA.
--Mike
does anyone know what type of screws are on the hasbro v hook?
good question, flat sheet metal, probably similar to what's on the Spengler wand.
I tried it and the cable broke😢
sorry to hear. I've got some other ideas, just need some time to shoot the video...
