There's only three left now :)  ... I would have ordered 2 but then my
wife would have put me on the verandah ;)

Hi

For any Aussie coilers looking for a bargain Variac, er, variable
autotransformer, Oatley electronics are currently listing a quantity of
four 15A/240V Rheotor units at $195 each.

I recently acquired a similar unit through an auction at a mere $100
more
(grumble, grumble).  Considering that Farnell/RS list 6A/240V units for
$800, I still consider this to be quite a bargain.

Still doesn't compare with my hundredweight of 25A genuine Variac - had
to
weld a frame together over the weekend to hold the rack mount unit in a
vertical position; now I just need to fit the wheels so I can move the
thing off the verandah where my wife keeps tripping over it ;-)

Cheers

M
