RE: New Variac (and lots of ?'s)

Remember, that if you make a purchase on ebay using a credit card or using
paypal, you are insured against fraudulent or non-delivering purchases.  Its
only when you pay via personal check or money order that you will really get
screwed.

Also, paypal only insures for auction related purchases only, not for
quasi-cash transactions.

eBay is not always reliable.  I got a used variac quite cheap.
Unfortunately the middle of the windings are all loose where the wiper
contacts them.  The thing was motor driven and that may explain the excess
wear.  Be careful with eBay too.

OTOH, for $190, I agree with Dan.
