ITC Goblin Paranormal

This is a super easy ghost box hack you can do with minimal tools. All you will need is a Phillips head screwdriver and a cutting device such as a hobby blade or precision scissors.

One at the top, and two in the battery compartment.  Carefully pry apart the case. I like to use a small flat head to aid in the splitting of the case. Be very gentle, as there are wires that could get damaged if you open it too rough. Once inside it should look similar to this: Remove the three screws holding the boards together and gently lift the top board off of the bottom board. There are wires attached, so once again be very gently. One its removed I like to face the speaker to the left like so: Once you have the ...
