You sure about that?  IIRC those are Chinese, from either Ningbo Jinyuan 
or Ougen (or pretty much anybody else).  Doesn't matter much, it just 
depends on which factory got the order from some bureaucrat.  "Nippon 
America" indeed.  ;<))  And most of the stuff at Marlin P. Jones seems 
to be Chinese anyway.

Those units are a relay-switched tapped transformer "regulator".  They 
operate in steps rather than linearly.  If that meets your needs they'll 
probably work fine for you.  Not sure but it might be possible to tweak 
the error amp up from the nominal 110V output.

Roger, I'd expect them to have a decent sine wave unless they botched 
the transformer.
