Re: Venkman's Ghostbusters Hero Proton Pack - Vintage Parts, New Details! VERY pic he
Whew. I guess I was looking at one of the older photos before everything was painted and weathered and spotted it.
Glad you got the new one on in time!
With the old bellows, they actually aren't epoxy, they are soldered on. You can heat it up in an electric oven or in a cast iron pan.. and the end caps will come off. Just be very careful. (I'd use an old oven that you don't cook in if possible since there could be fumes.)
AJ, that is your new one!!! It was one if the last parts to arrive before we sent her out, and I was so glad you were able to get them done just in time (I actually felt like you were rushing on my account, and we really appreciated it). It's just some faux grime sitting in the center divot making that circle seem smaller.
You said the epoxied end caps would be strong, and you weren't kidding - we started what's proving to be a very difficult process of dremeling off the older kind from a few years ago to install the replacement caps you sent along with the new bellows.
