Joeztech,

OK on the variac. I know they can be pricey. I didn't
pay much for mine, forget where I got it, I think a hamfest
many years ago. Definitely a good thing to have for
this hobby!

OK also on tubesandmore.com I have ordered things from
them in the past. Another option is Mark Oppat in Michigan
(oldradioparts.net). Don't know if you know about him or
not.

OK also on the high modern line voltages. This is definitely
a problem. I have not come up with a good solution
besides running my radios on my variac

You are right also about the fuses. Years ago I remember
having a special wall plug that had two 3AG type fuses
built into the plug. I don't know if these are still available
or not but I should look again. I've been mounting inline
fuses under the chassis lately.

Herb S.
