Hi all, I am passing on info for a variac for sale by a ham in Illinois who is not a member of this list. If you are interested, contact him directly at: kurt-at-oddjob.uchicago.edu. He says "I also have a V30/240VAC w/ gauges and switches that is rack mounted for $170.+ shipping ( probably $30 or so ). -Kurt- N9GFD" Sounds like a nice unit for an up to 7 KVA or so coil controller. --Steve
