[Hallicrafters] Hallicrafters Digest, Vol 101, Issue 20

[James Liles]

Good evening Roy:

Variac gets my vote --- simple, elegant, completely variable.  Haven't heard 
of one hurting equipment except when you spill your beer into it or the 
pooch mistakes it for a fire plug.  Oh --- forgot, tell the kids that its 
not a road race game --- right turns are real bad -- they think the smoke 
they see is from a burning alien vehicle.  They can't believe how real 
Grandpas games are.

Truth be told, I use them on every bench and a 50A in front of the shop---  
love-em.

Kindest regards Jim K9AXN

AND, if you have a small variac, you can run the bucking transformer
on IT, and have a small, smoothly variable solution to the problem.
Add a voltmeter and you have the cats meow.
