Request specs for a Gibbs GTS 7/8
 
Respectfully request specs for a GTS 7/8. I’d like to make a few before spring. Haven’t been able to find specs or get my hands one. I have a 2 and 3 and borrowed a 3 3/4.

Thanks for any tips if you insight into the build process. The thru hole looks center? Not sure if there is any weight and is there a modern lip that matches the original?

Thanks again and Merry Christmas.

Request specs for a Gibbs GTS 7/8...and GTS 1 1/2
 
Anybody out there have the specs for GTS-7/8 and GTS-1 1/2?

I have specs for GTS-2, GTS-3, and GTS-3 3/4.

Thanks for your help.

How long do yo think they are? I don't think I have those 2 varieties. Vineyardblues probably has them. Send him a PM if he can remember how to read a ruler. I will be going to visit him sometime in the next month so if he does have the plugs and can't figure out how to read a ruler I will do it for you and report back. Paul

looking around it seems the 7/8 is 3 3/4 inches long

Here is the 1 1/2. at least you can see the size of the two of them but not any specific's other than lenght.

ProfessorM,

Thanks for the extra legwork. I will PM Vineyardblues and request some measurements from him. I saw that 7/8 on eBay for $50. Too steep for my budget. I'm not a collector, just a wanna be plug maker hobbyist.

Maybe PlugFest.

I have both sizes in storage. If you can give me a couple of days I can dig them out and send to you to copy. I will just need them back once complete.
