That's just a rebadged Sola CVT, and it can't supply the necessary current to a 21-CT-55 anyway. The Colorvolt came out in the late 60s and was limited to about 3 amperes, so about 350 volt-amperes of apparent power.

A CT-100 draws just a hair under 500, I think the 21-CT-55 is about 540 or so. A CTC-4 draws 375 watts, the CTC-7 and 9 chassis are in the vicinity of 360 watts. A nice thought, but not really practical for any 50s roundie. A nice 750 VA or 1k VA unit is superior.
