As I mentioned to Don : this unit carries the registered Variac(R)
trademark but was not made by superior, it was made by Technipower

The tradename for Superior's variable transformers was Powerstat. GenRad
(the successor to General Radio) sold the "Variac" licence to
Technipower, who then sold the license to Power Designs Inc. That firm
subsequently went belly up.
