A very good point from Jon on this. These sets are not the time bombs
that older ones are. They got put away either working or not & for
many years they will stay that way. Using a variac can be complicated,
useless or harmful. Remember SS sets are regulated and will
run normal at as low as 85V maybe less for some.
