30 amp variac instead of an autoformer?
Hi, I've been looking for a 30 amp autoformer for some time. I wonder if this item would "fill the bill". 30 amp variac $169 Here is the company listing: variable ac transformer

This is deserving of a separate post.
VARIAC plus a soldering iron, transformer manual charger, even a resistance space heater. Tempting as can be but glue a stop to the adjustment dial so device cannot do anything but buck-duty. I did this to a milk-house heater, dialed in sixty volts with 800-watt setting on the heater and placed it near but facing away from my bed (no possibility of falling bedding shrouding the heater). Ahhhhhh!
