[Boatanchors] FS: Autotransformer (like Genrad Variac)

[Michael Crestohl]

   Hi Gang:
   Just  the perfect thing for bringing up the voltage on older equipment
   so as to
   "reform"  the  filter  caps.   I really don't need this item as I have
   three other similar
   pieces of equipment.  This one is a "Powerstat"  0-120 Volt 10 Amp
   autotransformer made by the Superior Electric company of Bristol CT.
   It  has  an  on-off  switch as well as a three-conductor grounded plug
   which indicates
   that  it is a later production model.  My guess is that it is from the
   1960s.
   Just  as  an  aside,  the term "Variac" which has come to be used as a
   generic
   term (like Kleenex or Band-Aid)  for all autotransformers is in fact a
   trade-mark
   of The General Radio Company.
   I  am  asking  $35.00  for this useful item plus $8.10 for shipping by
   Priority Mail
   in  a  flat rate box.  This is a wonderful bargain because it is quite
   heavy and would
   cost  a  lot  more  if  it  want  by weight.  Insurance would be $1.35
   additional.
   If interested please reply by e-mail.
   73,
