Ghostbusters Afterlife - Proton Pack Power Switch

READ ME

Here’s my take on the afterlife proton pack power switch, it’s based on technical drawings of the Leviton Single Pole 15 amp light switch but uses a super cheap easily available switch (KCD3) -not an ACDC tribute band...

You can take apart the original switch by simply inserting 2 thin shims (plectrums, playing cards, butter knife) on either side to release the tabs or a Stanley knife either side to cut tabs off, then all you need is the metal parts and the housing.

There are 2 versions of the lever depending on what the internals of your switch look like, one type will have a spring with a cap on, this is the spring pin file you will need to trim the spring to fit, the other version is for the type with a spring and a foot type connector, no modification needed, just put the spring in the hole.

You need a pin of some sort that is 10mm long and 2.5mm – 3mm wide (don’t use anything thinner as the switch might not lock into position)

Here are links to buy the switch (note: UK LINKS and there may be cheaper ones on these sites and others, links just to illustrate availability) just search KCD3 and go for the 2 pole on/off version (3 pin also fine)
