Anybody who does not have the opportunity to go to a hamfest and is
looking for a moderate sized variac (1 - 3kVA+), should keep a close eye
on the related usenet groups:
rec.radio.swap
rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors
rec.radio.boatanchors
rec.audio.marketplace
rec.audio.pro
rec.audio.tubes
rec.antiques.radio+phono
All of these groups have had variacs advertised for sale in the last two
months. They will be an order of magnitude cheaper than buying from a
surplus catalog. rec.radio.amateur.boatanchors is where I found my 18amp
GR variac for 35 dollars, just before Christmas.
Good Luck!
