Hello Marv. Thanks very much for looking up the details. It looked good
until you mentioned it is direct pull. That would require some head
scratching and time in the workshop which makes the eBay item
unattractive, especially with the guy's high asking price and his
inability to hi-pot test it. I think I'll keep looking.
I'm half tempted to use a multi-gang air variable from an old broadcast
radio. I don't need a high voltage rating, there is less than 300v peak,
but I need it to carry at least 10 amps. The flimsy rotor wiper on BC
variables looks inadequate for that much current but maybe if I added a
collar to the spindle with a flexible braid strap to the frame it would
suffice.
On the other hand a vac variable with a 10-turn counter (which I already
have) seems a lot more workmanlike.
Thanks for your help everyone, both on and off this list.
73, Alan

It is a direct pull (no screw drive) unit requiring 17KG max. pull.
Incidentally, it is rated 3KV operating / 5 KV test.
73 and very dark by you, Marv WC6W
