So where is a good place to get a vacuum variable without giving blood for

<http://www.surplussales.com/VaccumVarCaps/VVC5.html> and
<http://www.surplussales.com/VaccumVarCaps/VVC13.html> show some pictures
good enough to get the idea.  And prices<G>

Sometimes the flash of light, but often the repairing of the power supply.

I suspect it is more the minute dust and water molecules that cause the
problem.  Dry clean air is a pretty good insulator also.
