Otello are these in original configurations or you changed the parts from stock?

Aal, I changed some parts; let's say I tried to show all the GGTS parts made.
Many different engraved tubes had the same stock AD cap, for instance TS-6, TS-7 and TS-8 had the same connector: slick with 1 hole.
So, I showed the original AD cap in TS-6, brass accent in TS-7 and brass Stealth cap in TS-8. Etc.

Otello - The brass JGG in the second case on the far right - does that have a brass CT?

Lovely collection by the way!

No he cheated for the picture lol. It is a Ithaka base I assume with a brass ring and a brass lid.

Otello and i have made this list of facts and info about the GGTS. I don't think we can dig up more now, so for now this will be the final list. I post 2 - one large with full details, and one smaller with only the basic info.

Great document,helped me already

 

[imeothanasis]

More than great tables run and Otello!!!! I am really really impressed!

I updated the first post as always

 

[Runju]

we have probably made a mistake in the list with GGTS nickel. We have a range with double-lines serial number with small fonts, and we have another range with single-lined number with large fonts. The large font should be small fonts, but still single-lined. But if anyone has a nickelGGTS with large fonts, please let us know.

Here is a quick update on GGTS history in the short table. Please tell if you find wrong or missing info.

[breminator]

Ohhh, and i forgot.
Got an old brass Just GG a few weeks ago.
SN 3016 and absolutely the same engravings as before.

 

[Runju]

hmmm i don't know yet ... we have to compare the brass 6xxx with the new bras 7xxx and see if there is a difference in engraving. If they are the same, then the history is changed for the 53 made earlier. I hope there is a difference but from your pictures, they look very like ....

 

[breminator]

Okay, here we go.
I think they are identically, except the number

[Runju]

Yes, they look identical ... but to be sure we could measure the length of the wings ... but they seem to be 23,5 x 7 mm both of them

I will do in the next week.
I have no caliper here at the moment.
Hope to find a small difference

By the way, i think SS are identical too.
