I use an old Heathkit IT-1 circa 1955.  http://www.w6ze.org/Heathkit/Heathkit_018_IT1.pdf
It does isolate and is adjustable but only down to about 80v and being from the pre polarize
plug era it doesn't like them.

Easily handles any ac/dc set and is rated @ abt 200w with a break every now and then. Most
of the time with AC/DC set I'm just careful to make sure that the neutral side is at b- and couple
signals thru loops, nothing with a chassis connection. Sometimes I'll get a set with a problem
with hum modulation that's where it comes in really handy.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!
