Hey everyone! I don’t post here as frequently as I would like, but I have some information which may be beneficial to those of us who want to make TVG-accurate uniforms.

When my interest in building an accurate impression came about, I started a Facebook group (Ghostbusters TVG Prop Builders). I hoped for a while that the particular circuit board which they based the gizmos on would be identified. I finally found proof that they existed: an eBay auction. When I asked, the seller was tight-lipped. Fair enough. This seller wanted at least $300 for this item, so I passed.

Fast forward to recently- a member of the group said that his gizmo, unknown to him at the time, was an accurate TVG gizmo.

Drum roll, please....

It’s an Elka 160 calculator circuit board. It’s a Bulgarian calculator, so expect long wait times for this. I bought one, so I’ll post pictures once I receive it.

Also, the board covering the Lifegard logo on the...Lifegards...are just this circuit board shrunken down.

So I used what I could find and went to work on daughter board to realize I was looking a corner of lifeguard. LOL. Funny now but wasn't last night.
