I'd prefer to have the dual metering myself, easier to get a better idea of what's happening with the device under test. Plus, analog meters give you a better "feel" than digital ones, glad you went with those.
I have one of those Tenma Variacs. I love the fact that it also has an isolation transformer as well. One thing to be aware of one those however, the ground on the output receptacle and ground on the power supply, are connected internally through the chassis. So in order to have ground isolation you have to remove the ground jumper on the output receptacle from the chassis.
I prefer the Sencore PR570 Variable Isolation Transformer and Safety Analyzer. It's a very nice piece of test equipment and gets a prominent spot on the test bench! Keep up the good work T!!
I saw a video you made seven years ago about making a Princeton into a “Kingston” and I am looking into doing a similar project. My fender custom deluxe reverb is 22w and my reasoning for wanting to do this conversion is that it breaks up early. I want to swap the 6v6 tubes along with whatever other components for a 6l6 tube setup. Or even some other setup but I want to make my 22w amp a lot more than 22w and I just need power because my amp breaks up at too low of a volume. Do you have any information or advice for me, any would be appreciated. -Thanks.
Hello, I watch all your videos because you explain them very well and you don't speak too quickly because my English is not very good. THANKS

Excellent Job.
It's something that most guitar techs would need, or should need.
Terry...too many cool tools you've collected thru out your career..the hole punch came in handy!!
Thanks Terry I have the same issue with my Tenma Isolation Variac I will follow your recommendations to fix it.
Nice work, the meters look great; I can see toggle switches replacing those push-buttons when you perform your mod to replace the “board”.
Brilliant job, Terry…..👍🇮🇪
Thanks! Terry
Nice Modification, the mfg should have been made like that in the first place.
Fixed and Improved - Great Video!
Great Mod! I ended up Getting a BK 1655 AC supply/ Variac. I'm sure at some point I will have the same problem.
I have wished you would do that for awhile now.
I wondered when you would get aggravated flipping the switch. 😊
Cool project man!
Good job,nice work.
Nice.
