I thought the purpose of doing such a thing was to help reform the
electrolytic capacitors, but you just rebuilt those with new, so there
doesn't seem to be any need to use a variac unless you really, really
like variacs for some reason.  I do, by the way, but I probably won't
coddle my R-390A's that way again... :)
