DeckApe Wrote:(3) And this is unrelated, at least in the short term: after sifting my way through the technial whatnot, is my understanding of a Variac correct in that it is essentially a variable-voltage-AC-output?

This one looks unmolested enough to not have to rewrite the restoration bible again. Get a handful of caps and start replacing them. 95% odds that it will work.
