I'd like a few opinions. There's available, for $25, a Superior Powerstat model 136 20 amp variac. The case is all of 8" in diameter. The wiper squeaks a little when turned, there is no plug on it, no fuse, nor is there a receptical, but there are the appropriate terminals for such. Does this sound like a deal, and if so, which terminals go to the power cord and receptical? Thanks for any advice.
