Roger Borg Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Has anyone purchased or used this variac? https://www.ebay.com/itm/165626644011?hash=item26901e062b:g:nUUAAOSwk6di-FRd&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA4GOtRRCh0pMzVv2fJiWTklAWFlKXI0AExmMrc1bylvgPU8DLdk2Avmr8y%2FJmzjnk28KH16jvuC2uviknWPfAfNK0FJv4wQ4auoXLJ79exfFv1NqpntRNAUOnxz679%2BqKlb%2BxIfSVr5sfskIe9olZKzzqu3zk%2FRVpJjYqdH7dXqAXXKPr3P1HpjqpOpxJ5m8KiQcZWA5ElhYPyBtQ40amjO7MXOhIC5BQHOSIe2xZhN4qtnVMjBw0DIpHA4FPOl9W4nb0fxnHk3ZAb0FdWKSO2dZvQjMI7DjCfbuXNyeyQn%2Bz|tkp%3ABFBMuoDzvfNg I was considering the kb electronics kbwc-15k that john mccomas suggested as an alternative to a variac, but once shipping is factored in, it's pretty much the same cost. Would love a vintage variac with a built in meter, but haven't been able to find one, so looking at the aforementioned instead. But didn't know if it was junk from overseas. Thanks...

Richard Daugird Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Junk from overseas. I can't believe you can't find a real Variac, I have dozens, maybe I need to check eBay myself as I haven't bought one in a while... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Daugird Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 There's a whole bunch of used models on eBay right now, many for under $100. I just dropped $75 one I don't already have, thanks a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Huber Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Roger, I have a variac I could part with if you're still looking. It is rated for roughly 8 amp if memory serves me right? Message me if you're interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
