[Test-Equipment] Help identifying Old Superior Electric Variac

[Dennis Wade]

Thanks all for the replies.  If there was a model number, I'd have used it.

Thanks for the links to Superior Electric.  Maybe some old timer wil
recognize it.

As far as scale is concerned, its a little over 7 inches across, and
about 8 inches tall, and weighs 22 lbs.

John, if you mean removing the terminal strip and taking a pic...I can
probably do that if that's what you mean.

       Thanks again all,

          Dennis
