i can finally say congratulations in the large, my friend.  CONGRATULATIONS
to you and kim.

and i'm surprised, way back in your earliest report of this, that you said
"i need a major cleanup before bringing more stuff in."  isn't that what
friends are for?  i am sure kim wouldn't mind. :)

the variac is a nice one, i have one that looks identical.  take a pic of
the motor plate (whatever) showing its amperage etc..  simple to check, if
the fuse is good:  plug in, set to 0, insert probes into hot and neutral
(on a dmm set to ac volts), and bring up to 30v.  it should read somewhere
near that.  then move up 60/90/120, and you'll see if you have a straight
line or some variance.  i always set mine to actual output voltage rather
than using the scale on the top...

glad you were able to get to this haul, and looks like you got a ton of
great bits.

just say "whew, i can have a chat about your nuptials with the other
fleabags, now."
