I've been working on a Ghostbusters 2 slime scoop with the intention of bringing it to Dragoncon 2010. I've been working on this project with a friend for a while now and we've finally accumulated enough parts to show some interesting progress so I figured it was time to share.
We've only gotten definite ID's on the reel and the battery, the rest are either general parts or still unidentified. Here's our current breakdown:
1.Alvey Australia Model 425SWF saltwater fishing reel
2.Four section monopod, aprox. 20" long closed. We're using a Rokinon 67 inch though it's not 100% accurate
3.Project box, we're using a Hammond 1590U
4.Project box, I tried 2 different aluminum Hammonds before finding a no-brand plastic one that I think will work.
5.Green jewel panel light, we're using a Fender amp replacement lens
6.White jewel panel light, again using a Fender amp replacement lens
7.Toggle Switches
8.Unknown Flashlight w/ white and black twisted wire coming out
9.Coiled wire
10.Unknown, we're using a computer input port
11.Aluminium hemispheres, ~2.5" diameter
12.Belt Drive
13.Aluminum tube
14.Steel wire
15.Green illuminated indicator, possibly a button, possibly w/ white writing on it.
16.Motor, possible hobby servo adapted for continuous rotation
17.Micro roller switch w/ blue wires leading into box
18.Unknown, possibly a light or a button. We're using a blue indicator
19.Hex head socket screw, likely 4-40
20.Brass disk, possibly part of a tension system for the belt drive.
21.Hose clamps
22.Makita nicd rechargable battery, 7.2V w/ red wire attached
23.(not shown) D-ring attached to handle opposite wire tube.
24.(not shown) Dress Nuts, used on toggle switches
There are 4 white labels, one each above the 3 toggles and the white indicator. I've got a 7.2v makita battery coming this week, the 9.6v I checked out first seemed too big but I didn't have anything to compare it to at the time. Hopefully the 7.2v will be right. Still not sure on the aluminum hemisphere sizes, we'll go with what's available over specific sizes. Unfortunatly the ice cream scoops we've looked at so far won't work.
One problem we've run into is the extraneous parts that are attached to the back of the reel need to be removed:
But they are spot welded in:
Anyone know a way to seperate the parts without destroying the backplate?
