Re: Variacs Wanted

Everyone calls them variacs, even if that's a proprietary name. It happens.
The transformer is fine and that's what I bought it for and it has been fine
over the course of the year I had it. I don't see how this affects you by
the least. I did not want a used piece of crap of ebay covered in black tar
and have a ground down brush. The variac I got from KRM Is fine. They also
make some nice small 5A models. Not to mention, you find me an American
made (brand new) 10A variac, for under a hundred dollars and I'll buy it.
