GG List.. With Number Of GGs Made.

[G2matt]

I hope someone can help with this.

Every now and then I see mention of the button's being different on the different version's of GGTS.

Would it be possible to have this information added to the list at the beginning of this thread, to know what's what.

Cheers

We are working (Runju and me) on an extended list with mention to the different versions of caps, buttons, etc., but at the moment there are too many infos to be verified before putting the list on line.

For the record, I know at least 7 different buttons.

 

[G2matt]

Ok thanks for the info.

And keep up the good work.

Well, this is all I know about GGTS buttons:

- "mistery" first GG button, as I have seen referred on the forum. (I don't even know if it was made for GGTS or older PVs.)

Brass flat round button
Brass housing
2 brass Knurled nuts

- Rev. 1 Button

Brass round "fat" button
Brass housing
2 Brass Knurled nuts

- Rev. 2 Button

Brass round "fat" button
Brass housing with fixing nut integrated
1 Aluminum Slick nut

- Nickel Button

Nickel Exagonal button
Nickel housing with fixing nut integrated
1 Nickel Knurled nut

- SS Button Serial #1-2049 (????) Plus a special serie for COV

SS Exagonal button
Brass housing with fixing nut integrated
1 SS Knurled nut

- Current Button (available in 3 versions)

SS/Old Brass/New Brass round button
Brass housing
2 SS Knurled nuts

So, counting as 3 the current button, we have 7 variations, plus the mistery one; can somebody help about this button?

Hi. What serial numbers have the penelope v3? Start it from "1" or go it on, were the penelope v2 stops? Thanks

- Rev. 2 Button

Brass round "fat" button
Brass housing with fixing nut integrated
1 Aluminum Slick nut

I have a question with regards to the Slick nut of the Rev.2. Mine has a very fine knurled Aluminium nut / locking ring - is that slick nut the middle one on your picture? I dunno for sure if mine is an original one, though I had no doubts till now. Still I have no doubts but I wonder a bit... Maybe the slick ring is an option or small series (maybe its reasonable that there is a kind of evolution from the deep knurled, over a slight knurled to a slick ring (and back to deep again).

 

[Otello]

Manni, I did a better check and I'd say we have another button version.
The Rev.2 in the photo is #693 and the Alu. locking ring is completely slick.
But #1059 Alu. ring is slightly knurled as you described.

 

[ManniGfaltig]

Phuu...

Also we have the limited edition of (2012?) adjustable throw buttons which I ordered together with my GGTS #2234. Its the usual button housing, brass fixating ring and SS fine knurled locking ring. most important - these buttons have a flat surface (slightly concave).

I am not totally sure but I think the latest AT buttons have two variations of rings. One is finer and not so deep, the other is deeper and rougher. I try to make some photos tomorrow.

third button is not mine Otello

 

[Otello]

Also this??? I have seen photos of many rev.2 with this button...

 

[imeothanasis]

I never made a so curved head button Otello

 

[Otello]

Ah, OK, it's a photo effect; actually the curve is about the same of the second button from the left.

 

[CaptSteve]

Otello the left button came with that GGTS in the picture??? If it did it's also a Sotong copy because that GGTS came out much later than that type of button. Sadly the market of second hand GG's is fully of copy parts that people bought without even knowing

 

[imeothanasis]

Ah, ok buddy, then its mine. I made some buttons with slick locking ring in the past

 

[CaptSteve]

No it's not your button Imeo, this is the same button in a different picture. It's CERTAINLY not an original GG button

 

[Otello]

No Capt, this is NOT the same button.
Remember? you were the first to note it cannot screw on GGTS

 

[CaptSteve]

Oh ok, sorry I thought it's the same one.
