Dave,

Nice looking stack of Variacs! Because of the balancing action that occurs
between pairs of Variacs, "I" would simply tie the outputs of the pairs of
balancing transformers together - it's not exactly what Superior
recommends, but I suspect you'll have absolutely no problem, and you'll
save a good chunk of change in the process... :^)
