I KNEW there was a thread about test gear on the Phorum somewhere!
I've had it pointed out that I've already said, "I could make this a hobby..." enough times that it's already become a hobby, and I have yet to replace my first capacitor.
TODAY'S QUESTION: The Variac. I understand it's a necessary piece of equipment if you want a little more control than a dim-bulb tester. What amperage do you seasoned veterans think would be appropriate? Metered, or will an unmetered unit suffice?
... to quote Mike Myers in Coffee Talk, "discuss."
