Anyone got a single Phase, ideally UK outlet, Variac for sale (or loan close to Oxford?).

Thanks!

It would be useful to include the power rating. 250v/A, 500 v/A 1kv/A etc.

Here's one on fleabay;

Thanks - looking for one in an enclosure, RS components type for example. 500VA would be plenty. Just need one to test single channels of amp boards.

Yeah, it’s on the maybe list - but I’m trying to buy in the UK rather than China currently.

Try stewarts of reading, they should have a few

Great suggestion @Chrisr3521 ! I’ve left them a message.

Dwayne or Beryl? I can’t give those two enough kudos. Friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist.

I spoke to Dwayne, good choice of kit and decent prices for used sources which have been checked over.
