Thanks for the info Nathan.  I still have an isolation Xfmr.
I sold my Variac several years ago and never replaced it.
I thought this time I would try to find one with isolated output.
I thought maybe someone may have reworked a Variac to
make it isolated output.  I may just pickup a 5 or 10 amp
Variac, and use the Isolation Xfmr with it.
I have looked at the PR-57's, and they ARE pricey....
I guess if this was a sho'nuff repair business, the investment
would pay for itself.  After all it is a hobby.  We have a local
Hamfest here the end of next month, and just maybe I'll find
something useful.
