[AMRadio] Variac hook up

[Tommye & Jim Wilhite]

Steve:

According to my data 2 & 4 are the input terminals.  Then 3 & 4 are
output if you want clockwise increase and 3 & 2 would be for counter
clockwise.  Notice that # 4 is common in the clockwise configuration
and # 3 would be for counter clockwise.
