Weird, Scary, Power Gizmo-thingy

Looks fine to me, plug her in and see what happens. Better yet, find a buddy to plug it in and you can video it.

turn the variac to low setting plug in the 110 and step on the foot switch--and then use your meter carefully to determine the dc voltage on your large output wires---then turn your variac up a little and recheck---but if you know nothing about electricity safety--then don't mess with it---give it to someone who does---just the foot switch and the variac are probably worth what your wife paid for all of it---I wish my wife would buy stuff like that for me----be safe-----Dave

I believe that to be version 1 of professor Peabody's Way-Back machine. Plug it in and stand Waaay Back. Mike

it kinda looks like the gizmo that E.T. used in the movie to phone home....

I wouldn't recommend plug something in to see if it works without having some kind of a clue as to what it is supposed to do. A little circuit tracing would help a lot. If it were my gizmo, it would be parted out.
