Isolated variac suggestions
#28

MrFixr I always got a chuckle out of Kirk’s running total of electrocutions. My tongue in cheek comment was mostly to let everyone know Kirk was at Kutztown and doing well!
   
   As for blackouts, I too have caused one in our house. As a teen I had a small bench setup in my bedroom and one night did something that blew a fuse that caused no lights in the hall and other bedrooms. It was an old home close to 100 years old in need of an electrical upgrade!
