Well, I finally finished the pair of GSGs I've been working on. I took some pics in my friend's workshop if you want to check them out.

They sound great! I can't wait to get a little more listening time with mine.

Thanks for the boards Shannon! Also, thanks to everyone that answered my questions.

Bill, very nice build, I really like the look of your GSG. If you have access to a lathe, one can easily polish the Weber Copper Cap Rectifier, it really adds a nice look. I also reinstalled the decal, this IMHO improves the look of the rectifier.

Cordially,

Bill,
Those look great!! Back to the James transformers, what model are they? Also, Could you possible share that FPE file with the group?
Thanks,
Brad

Yes, your new amplifiers are beautiful, Bill. Fine work indeed.

His transformers came from a guy who sold off about a dozen pair on eBay. Alas, I suspect there will be no more. The seller claims they were leftovers from a custom run.

Sweet amps Bill ! I've built four of them, and really
enjoy the sound of the one I kept for myself.

Thanks for the complements!

Ty is correct about the transformers.

I would be glad to share the FPE file with this group, but I don't know how. (I'm not that web savy.... Yellow_Light_Colorz_PDT_20)

If you send me an email, I can send it to you. It's only 2 kb.

Yeah, great amps. Nice job on the FPE file too. -VERY- nice.

Beautifully done! Another example of how something as stock as an amp w/ the GSG board can look custom with a touch of creativity.

I still don't know how Jian Shin can get away with supplying James stickers on their products. I guess if they all came from the same factory it's upto them to do what they wish. They are both great sounding OPTs.

I would love to see some folks here point-to-point wiring a GSG. It looks super simple to go so.

I used Front Panel Express for the metalwork. The lettering is engraved with a 0.2 mm tool then filled with white ink. Most of the lettering is "Helvetica Light, 1-Stroke".
