Arcoelectric Lights

Commonly referred to as the "hat lights",two to three of these vintage indicator light covers are found on the proton gun. There is one White cover, located to left of the Clippard valve and one Orange cover located on the right side gun "ear" toward the front of the barrel. Long thought that for Ghostbusters 1 Hero guns, the cover on the top of the gun is fed up through a hole from inside the gun so only the top is visible but this is actually another style of indicator light. There is one variation using an Orange indicator instead of White. Ghostbusters 2 guns have an extra cover mounted in this location.Covers have been found both with and without numbers printed on the tops. Numbers can be easily removed to achieve a screen accurate appearance. It should also be noted that the correct Orange covers are opaque and not semi-translucent like the more commonly found Orange covers. Apparently these are no longer being produced but similar alternatives have been found from other manufacturers.
