 Re: Line Conditioner to Protect Electronics
 By Spencer Chase
 
 
 | There are many of these constant voltage transformers available surplus.  They were very popular for small computers a few years ago, but have (wisely?) been replaced with MOV-only type surge protectors.  They should be available very cheaply as compared to the original prices.  I know of a 3 KVA, 110/220 volt model with 5% taps that is available for about $100.  The thing weighs a ton (realistically about 225 pounds.)  If anyone wants this tank it belongs to a friend in Northern California who would love to get rid of it but doesn't want to move it around.  I think it is called a Stabilitron by GE.
