Barnfind!

Got a new tool. An old tool actually… 😉 A barn find: fully isolated Phillips metered variac with a 2A circuit breaker. Cleaning and repairing it was quite a hassle since it was buried deep under some trash and pigeon droppings 😳 Right now it’s fully operational and it’s going to help me with slowly powering up vintage repairs, reforming capacitors, etcetera. I’m going to mod it a bit though, there will be switchable lightbulbs in series with the AC line output so it will even be an old school dim bulb limiter/tester.
