[Amps] Anybody still building with the GS-35b ?

[John Sparkes]

Hi Mark
It is a great tube. And, you don’t need a socket - Alek and I cut out a hole in the chassis and I used 3 little L brackets to hold the grid ring hard onto the chassis. Then, a couple of stainless radiator clamps around the Fil and Fil/Cathode rings under the chassis for filament and input matching circuit connections. Works great.
Best 73,
