[Hallicrafters] Rectifier replacement

[Joseph Pinner]

I do the same here. My boatanchors run fron a variac at 110V.

I do believe it helps extend the life of tubes and components.

I've had good results running old equipment on 110V through a variac which reduces power transformer stress and a great deal of excess heat which would otherwise be produced from the 120 and higher input volts.
