Check out my post on photocopier transformers. If there is a way to 
disable the current limiting on these transformers, they'd be perfect 
for a small scale (<3.5kVA) variable current/voltage power supply. Or 
maybe one doesn't have to disable the current limiting for 0ma to 400ma 
operation.

If you're interested, I'd be willing to swap transformers for the solid 
state stuff so that we could replicate each others efforts.
