OK, I wasn't going to bring this up here, but I am not sure what else to do.
I recieved my first GGTS yesterday from COV. First let me say what a thing of beauty the mod is. I also received an Ithaka from the classifieds - that is one of the most amazing pieces of engineering I have ever seen. Major Kudos to Imeo!
Anyway, I set up the Ithaka, checked it on a Provari, performed spectacular.
TO make a long story short, I can't get the GGTS to fire.
I completely understand how the floating positive pin works, and checked with my Meter from the bottom of the pin to the coils of the Ithaka and connectivity is perfect.
SO I removed the Ithaka, the entire pin assembly and installed my iHybrid Synthesis which works perfect on other mods and same issue. No firing. The Sythesis basically has a GG adapter that makes the atty rest directly on the battery, so it removed another piece out of the picture. Troubleshooting 101 I guess.
I'm currently enjoying the Ithaka on a Poldiac.
I looked inside the mod to ensure the firing pin is making contact with the brass post and that looks fine.
I double checked the battery in another mod and it's fine.
I made sure the spring is seated in the firing post.
Being that its a mechanical mod, I can't imagine what else I'm missing.
I am going to check continuity from the fire button to the top of the battery when I get home later.
Any thoughts? AM I just that stupid?

We were all new to GGs at one point or another and either had to figure things out on our own or come here and ask questions (and I'm willing to bet that even some of the vets have asked some questions that in hindsight just made them go 
). This community is generally pretty helpful no matter how complicated or simple the solution is. The GGTS is considered an "advanced user device" so nobody is expected to be a master at it right out of the box ;-)
