DIY Radio Shack Hack Model 12-587 "Ghost Box"

How To Video to show how to hack The Original Radio Shack Model 12-587 "Ghost Box" based on the http://www.keyportparanormal.com/simpleghostboxhack.html Hultay #5 Hack! Have Fun!

****DISCLAIMER*** Please note that the NEW 12-587 has not yet been hacked! We have tried clipping the MU but it does not work like other hacks! If you go to purchase your radio and it is in a cardboard box with a picture of the radio on the front like in this video BUY IT! If it is in a clear plastic packaging and the actual radio is visible, this is the NEW radio and we do not recommend buying. ****

then i look it up on the radio diagram

@reek13ful The pin or wire is "MU" typically on the radios. Read down on the comments though, someone had tried this already. You might get together with that user and compare notes before damaging the radio?

I have researched this a few times, and looked for an answer with some colleagues as well. None of us have cross referenced the hack on the new design. the ribbons do not match the 20-125 set up as well. As soon as I see an update, I will post it. Otherwise, I would recommend trying the 20-125 mod as well that I have posted. Radio Shack burned me as well on the 12-269 model which was my first attempt and I have not seen anyone to this day remedy the mod on the new 12-269 either.

Thank you the tutorial.

what would you prefer the scan AM or FM ?

[stealthealer]

@tbenefi33 My preference has always been AM. FM gets too much music in my region.

lmao you are bound to catch some EVPs with that radio.people who believe this stuff works needs help.i mean really walking around with a radio and wondering where you are picking up the voices from lmao..ghost adventures use this alot and pick up DJ's and commercials and swear its a ghost talking.

[stealthealer]

@tgrfan42069 You are not wrong, the theory is to use phonetic sounds to build a word or phrase that closely matches the question. We do expect "contamination" to a large degree, and while some consider it evidential, i consider it more entertaining, compelling and worth follow-up research to refine the line of research Thomas Edison embarked on. Laugh if you want. I do agree though, any response should be strongly filtered with common sense and integrity.

@RagingBleachFire would love to find this out to.

Hello. Do you know how to make a radioshack radion model 12-587 (The newer type with a ribbon of wires instead of pegs) into a ghost box?

[AZParanormalResearch]

@rntonp Yes, I do! You mean you don't?

[nedismsoph]

Anyone know where you can get one in England?

[ppiinvestigations]

the latest sale of the model does not have the pins you are talking about to modify. anyway to modify the newest design?

[dasniffo]

@tgrfan42069 I'm sure you are partly correct that picking up bits of radio transmission happens, but I'm also sure the one ghost adventures uses is a bit different...for one I think it's more of a white noise generator, so it generates and scans the random frequencies within the white noise. And two, it scans at a faster rate than these radio hacks so when an intelligent response is heard it's not heard on one frequency, it's spread out over multiple frequencies.

Don't pull up to hard with the screwdriver or you'll drive it deep into your eye socket.

very neat mod! So far no luck finding this model but I am still looking.

@tgrfan42069 Do you believe a guy was swallowed by a whale and lived for 3 days inside before being spat out?
