This trap was sold for $240,000. It is marketed as being used in GB1 and GB2.

I'm interested in where in GB1 this trap was used. Does anyone know?

Hero traps used in GB1 seem to have:

-A central bolt on the back of the battery box
-The Linrose red light close to the metal switch and the switch and light being in line
-Sunken (recessed) Wamco bargraph (swapped out when retrofitted for GB2 to a raised/extruding bargraph)
-Small yellow led next to bargraph (swapped out for oversize model when retrofitted for GB2)
-Obviously Red bars (retrofitted for silver in GB2) and black right dial (retrofitted with silver dial in GB2)
-A black right hand Dsub connector on the pedal (propstore trap features the gray Dsub connector on the pedal which is from GB2)

Does anyone know what scene this trap sold by Propstore on the right of the image below (without the central bolt) is used in GB1?

In this video Propstore says it was screen matched to the scene in GB2 where they catch a ghost jogger at Central Park.


Here is the scene in question:

 
I think the association with the production of GB1 may be based on provenance and the size of the trap. asavage got a chance to check it out, and there is great additional discussion in this video, but still no mention of a specific scene match from GB1:
