Funny you should ask: I have two really nice 115-to-115 VAC @ 20 
amp transformers that weigh 65 lbs each...which I have never yet used.

I think I should start, don't you? :-)

The trouble is, they are VERY difficult for my arthritic old fingers to get 
hold of, and when I lift them, all the joints in my arms crack.
