Hi All,
I have a big 3 section Powerstat 146U-3 that has never been used. It is
0-280VAC at 30Amps per section.
It would be nice to break it down into three separate variacs. However,
the shafts have what seems to be a pressed on insulator (red circle):

I cannot take it apart as needed with these pressed on parts :-(((
There is not enough shaft between the sections to think about sawing it.
I just wanted to check for any obvious solutions you all might
know. Otherwise, off to E-bay man (as a full unit) it will go...
I also have a 240VAC 15A 3 section Powerstat unit that looks like it has
the same dumb problem :-p
Cheers,
Terry
