Frank's Autoformer? Available?

We have spent the greater portion of today looking at surge protectors and autoformers.

The Hughes autoformer is available at several different sites.

Frank's autoformer had some features described in various forum posts that my husband liked.

We have tried to find a place where we could buy a Frank's but can find no active link.

Does anyone know if they can still be purchased?

Thanks

    I just punched "Frank's autoformer" in the computer and found them, also found a forum thread where most people said they were sorry they ever bought one. Also found a hughs autoformer, 50 amp, at Walmart for $509. Are you sure you need or want one? In 20 years of motor homing I've only found about 3 instances where I might have used one. Two of those were parks where I checked the voltage before I hooked up and I got my money back and left the park. The other case I had to run my generator in mid afternoon when everyone else turned on the acnd.
