THESE COPIES OF THESE CATALOGS ARE INVALUABLE FOR ANYONE WORKING WITH ALL OF THE CLASSIC VARIACS THAT HAVE BEEN USED BY ENGINEERS AND TECHNICIANS TO DESIGN AND REPAIR ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT FOR THE LAST 74 YEARS!
IMPORTANT NOTE #2: WE ARE THE ONLY SUPPLIERS IN THE UNITED STATES WHO FULLY RE-MANUFACTURE VARIACS OF ALL SIZES (200-VA TO 150,000-VA) INTO BETTER THAN NEW CONDITION, AND SELL THEM FOR FAR LESS THAN THE CURRENT NEW PRICES FROM US SUPPLIERS SUCH AS: SUPERIOR ELECTRIC, STACO, GENERAL RADIO/ TECHNIPOWER ETC..
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: WE OPERATE A FACILITY THAT EXPERTLY REBUILDS THESE VARIAC TYPE AUTOFORMERS AND VOLTAGE REGULATORS.
EVERY VARIAC WE SELL HAS BEEN COMPLETELY DISASSEMBLED, INTO IT'S COMPONENT PIECES, CAREFULLY INSPECTED, AND ANY WORN OR DAMAGED PARTS ARE REPLACED, THE ENTIRE UNIT IS CLEANED, AND PROFESSIONALLY RE-PAINTED!
WE CAN ALSO CUSTOM PAINT THESE VARIACS FOR YOU IN YOUR CHOICE OF AVAILABLE COLORS, ALSO THE KNOBS ARE HAND POLISHED TO A HIGH SHEEN.
WE TAKE FAR GREATER CARE THAN THE FACTORY DOES WHEN ASSEMBLING ALL OF OUR VARIACS. WE PRECISELY DRESS AND ALIGN THE CRITICAL BRUSH AND COIL SURFACE CONTACT AREA (GREATLY EXTENDING THE LIFE OF THE VARIAC!).
WE USE CUSTOM MADE TOOLS, TRECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS INCLUDING EXPENSIVE HIGH TEMPERATURE GREASE ON ALL SHAFT AND SLIDING CONTACT SURFACES.
FOR CONVENIENCE AND SAFETY ON ALL OF OUR "CASED AND CORDED" BENCH TYPE VARIACS, WE ALWAYS INSTALL A NEW, PROPERLY RATED, THREE PRONG POWER CORD AND THREE PRONG GROUNDED OUTLET RECEPTACLE IF THE VARIAC IF IT WAS NOT ORIGINALLY SUPPLIED WITH ONE!
THE "VARIAC" OR VARIABLE AUTOFORMER WAS INITIALLY MARKETED BY GENERAL RADIO CORPORATION IN 1933 AND THEY COINED THE NAME VARIAC (VARIABLE-AC).
