Hi Will....

NAWWWW   this thing wont work at all on a NST    I'll buy it from you for
200$   ;) and I'll pay
the shipping.

GAWD what a find !!!   and for 50 $ !!   sell your soul first before you
sell the variac. It will
work on an NST with no problem ( you can even wire the variac up for 120V )
and when you go to
piggie power it will be great ( altho you will still need to get an inductor).
