[Amps] Was GI7b now is GS35b

[Dave M]

I will certainly be doing just that haha , I got into the hobby because I love building , and after having done a few simple repairs to some heathkit amps it has got my need to pick up a soldering iron going again , other than building antennas amps are my  best option ,I have yet to see a surface mount tube and my eye sight aint what it was 20 yrs ago

> 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
