Well all the banter the last couple dys has triggered my motivation and I started digging everything out of storage , upon close exam of the Plate xfrmer I discovered I was wrong with the voltages , it isnt 1740 volts it is 1740/0/1740 and 1250/0/1250 , so the GI7B project has turned into a gs35b so I can use the full voltage of the 1250/0/1250 taps I chose the gs35b because of cost , I have a guy here wanting my gi7b tubes and it will cover 2/3 of the price of the bigger gs35b 

 

I have the plate Xfrmer idling no load with primary power at 100% to dry things out in case it has picked up any moisture sitting in the basement. I have verified the voltage with a variac on the primary and fed low voltage to check the secondary , all is as it should be

 

Just wanted to thank the members for their enthusiasm in this hobby , it has me REALLY looking forward to getting things on the go, this will be a big step up from 400 watt sweep tube amps for me LOL
