Ah. Below you said it had a Powerstat label, but now I
see the Subject is Luxtrol. Obviously a typo below
(initial post).

I figure these things come in all kinds of packages,
based on intended purpose. Mine were linkage
controlled, rather than by shafts. Still sounds like
they are similar.

I also picked this up from the same theatre:

I initially thought the thing was a big variable
resistor, since it was called a Radiastat. Later
testing showed it to be a potted variac, with a pretty
cool wiper mechanism.
