[QuadList] Variacs and awakening gear from long naps (was Got my VR 1200's)

[Guy Spiller]

Hi Ted....
It's just a cheap chinese one I bought off eBay several years ago.  It 
has a built in voltmeter, which is nice, and is rated for 15 amps if I 
remember right.  It has a normal 110v outlet on it as well.
So far, it works just fine.
