The "RDS-3458" seems to refer to some sort of toner cartridge produced by Raytheon.ĮDIT: The logo in the lower left corner is clearly the Raytheon logo:Īgain, I'm not too sure about this label. Searching a bit on the internet, the wording "Raytheon Data Systems" came up, which shouldn't be too much of a surprise, considering the prop-builders' use of Raytheon parts on some of the props. The bottom portion of this label is too small to discern from this photo. This is very likely a "FLAMMABLE" or "COMBUSTIBLE" label, as I've seen similar labels with a red and black color scheme, often in a diamond shape. The overall look of this particular label reminds me of a bank check (even though it's obviously not). This photo was taken when the car was still at Universal, so the text is (hopefully) still legible to this day and not too faded. However, the lines and spacing can be seen, so it would be easy to make up some information to go on it. This was the clearest photo I could find of this label, but the text is still illegible. Any further discussion would be greatly appreciated, particularly if there are some details that aren't easy to see, or if I've given misinformation of any kind in this thread. ![]() I'm going to start by redrawing the "WARNING - THREAD SAFETY CHAIN." label. Don't forget the screen-accurate "Hardee's" logo on the passenger-side door. The white label on the far left end of the red tank is illegible to this day. The tank labels look like they might be red. The side tanks, which are now faded white, look like they might have been yellow (similar to the Ecto-1). I take no credit for any of these photos. I found a few images via Google showing the car when it appeared at different Hardee's around the country for the promotion of GB2. This label appears on both the left and right sides of the rear tank. The Radome might also have the same label. The topmost label on both the left and right sides appears to be the same as the one on the front of the green box and the control panel behind the driver/passenger seats. The rear section of the tank has a cut-down version of the computer monitor label (see below), as well as a small faded label above it. It also looks like there's n "He" or Ho" on this piece. The other side of this device has green label looks like it might read "GFP 3 211142". Note the "FREON DO NOT FILL." label on the tank/device directly in front of the white box. There's another triangular electric shock hazard label on the front passenger side of the box. There is a "DANGER HIGH VOLTAGE 10,000 V.D.C." label on the driver side. This label appears on the red tube on the passenger side. Also note the labels on the yellow side tanks - these are also long gone. These labels have been missing for many years. The Sonobuoy had two triangular electric shock labels during the original filming in 1988. If only there were a higher-resolution version of this image available. This is the best photo that I've found of this label, so recreating it might be tough. The badly faded black and white label on the front of the green box appears to be similar to the label on the console behind the driver/passenger seats inside the cabin. There is also one of these labels on the Sonobuoy. I've been going through the handful of images that are publicly available:īoth the left and right sides of the green box have a "WARNING - THREAD SAFETY CHAIN." label (as seen on the Sniffer tubes on the Ecto-1). ![]() The first thing is to determine is what labels have been on the car. My goal is to create a set of labels for the community that can be used for replica Ectomobiles, model kits, or even a possible community-driven restoration of the screen-used car.įor more information on the Ecto-1A in its current condition, please take a look at this page: As many of you know, several of the exterior labels on the Ecto-1A are either badly faded or missing entirely.
