Jim,
As I've mentioned here before, I suspect that the reasonably priced units
on eBay are autotransformers rather that isolated winding designs. That
suspicion is based on the prices and on the weight (the one listed below is
quoted as only 25 lbs). What's your opinion? In the application we're
discussing here, I don't see that as a problem though. Do you?
