Two things to watch out for on saturable reactor power transformers.
1. They don't generate a sine wave, therefore most AC volt meters will not give an accurate RMS reading. As the waveshape changes with the voltage adjustment, so most meters will show a change when they are actually holding RMS voltage constant. I used two 10 amp Sola transformers to stabilize high amperage lighting for critical photographic work back in the 60's and 70's.
2. Don't put magnetic recordings anywhere close to them as the rather strong magnetic fields they emit will erase them. This little booboo forced me to buy a new operating system for friend's computer that I was testing. Turning off a Sola can magnetize ferrous object near them, which might not be too good for a color TV.
