What a variac is: http://www.elect-spec.com/variac_tutorial.htm Where to buy one: eBay, surplus stores, junk shops, online electronics sellers, etc. Be cautious when buying a used one. One that has been overloaded can have burned windings and/or a burned carbon brush, rendering it unsafe at best and useless at worst. I can vouch for Michael, N0XY. If you buy from him, you'll get a good one. -Jim -- TR7/RV7, TR6/RV6, T4XC/R4C, L4B, NCL2000, SB104A, R390A, GT550A/RV550A - all vintage, all the time! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions: [email protected] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - unsubscribe drakelist in body Hopelessly Lost: [EMAIL PROTECTED] - help in body of message Zerobeat Web Page: www.zerobeat.net - sponsored by www.tlchost.net ----------------------------------------------------------------------
