I was browsing Reddit earlier and on the front page someone had posted a slide show of a "making-of" book in celebration of the 30th anniversary. The post is here. I had never seen this book in its entirety before and something interesting caught my eye. I came across a drawing schematic of Ecto-1 and noticed this:
Particularly this piece is what I am inquiring about.
The drawing has this part listed as a marine radome. Google searched for vintage marine radome and I get some pretty interestingly close results when it comes to submarines. Now, I don't know if this part has been identified yet. Not too long ago I remember reading that the community consensus was that this was a fabricated piece. It's looking like it might possibly be a direction-finding antenna w/ a radome cover made for a submarine (mini-sub?). I wasn't able to pull up any other info for it in the forums, so I am inquiring about it here. Anyone know more about this part?
