<div class="">Well, that’s me....</div>
<div class="">If the consensus is just plug it in I’m good but if it is check the
supplies first.... memorymoogs, prophet 5, lesser synths... I’d just
leave them off – don’t need the added grief right now.</div>
<div class="">No way am I going to tweak up the memorymoog supplies and go through
calibration of them again... at least not now.</div>
<div class="">Maybe the Variac is just a thing for tube-based things like old ham sets or
guitar amps?</div>
<div class="">I have 2 (transistor(ized) ham tranceivers and a Drake receiver that I need
to try too.</div>
