Jimbilly Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 My dad built me this cool mahogany box for my Variac!, I've got advice about how to wire it up per somebody here (can't remember who, but thanks!). I'm just thinking about how to best run the power in and out of the box, I'm thinking of just chopping an extension cord in half, drilling a hole in each side of the box so that half the extension cord comes out each side of the box. I was also thinking of mounting one of those computer type plugs in the side, but then there's more cables to keep track of. Other ideas?
Jimbilly Posted January 28, 2008 Author Posted January 28, 2008 Hmm, that may be a problem... How much heat does one of these guys make?
phoenix Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Where can I get one. I keep hearing old amps need to run on 110. 'course I also keep hearing it doesn't matter.
Turdus Posted January 28, 2008 Posted January 28, 2008 Was probably me that gave the wiring advice. We have the same Variac. I built this crude box 15 years ago. Mine is open back, but you can see how I did the outlet on the side.
