I have the 3 "variacs" below for sale. Also, if you would like me to
send you my complete list of things for sale, let me know.
(It's my understanding that most variacs can be operated over their
current rating for limited periods of time, such as the typical run
times for Tesla coils.)
Let me know directly if interested: tpayne-at-netnitco-dot-net
